Brian, <<I agree that they earnestly think that there religion is of EQUAL value.>> There is just as much proof(both scientific and ancillary) that they are right and you are wrong. Of course, by defnintion, that means there is just as much proof that you are right..... ____________________________________________________________ <<Lets just agree to disagree What is the word "JUST" there for ?? What is the word "TO" there for. You assure me that this is not an appeal to compromise but if it wasn't would not the following statement be more in keeping ? Let's agree that we disagree. ____________________________________________________________ Again, you are thinking I am trying to trap you into soething, I truly am not. I have no idea why the word "just" was in there, or even why you think it makes one iota of difference? IF "let's agree to disagree" works better for you, I am okay with that. Let's agree to disagree. <<Why would two people need to agree that they disagree.. Stating the obvious has some kind of soothing effect??>> There is no deception in that. It is a device people use so that they can go on and either continue to debate or just walk away, but do it in a manner that removes conflict in a humane and dignified manner. <<Trust me Mark you cannot tolerate my intolerance>> Why? I have done so up to now, and continue to do so. What makes you think I will behave any differently? <<Someone from SI already sent a fax to my employer trying to get me fired.. He is from your camp. Those who say they are tolerant!>> If so, I am sorry they did that. However, I am not that person, and am responsible for my actions, not that persons. What difference is there between that person and the KKK who claims to be Christian but behaes differently? If you hold me responsible for someone I don't know because they claim to be tolerant, by the same logic, I an hold you responsible for the KKK and the Aryan nation! Brian, quoting scripture to me, means nothing. It holds no value as to spiritual law for me. I don't believe it.To say that the bible is true because the bible says it's true is circular reasoning and meaningless. Mark
