DLL If I may, <<I apologize for making such an extreme example. It does make the point that sometimes an organized group can with a common belief of love do good that the individual lover of G-d cannot.>> Not necessarily true, my friend. In a very strict sense that is true, but one could very easily replace the individual witha lone missionary, and the group with a group of Jews, buddhists, new-agers, etc. I absolutely agree tht the methods used(loving conversion to a better spiritual outlook) are the way to go. AS far as Santeria, I believe that is a Cuban religion, that has traveled to Florida with the exodus of cubans to that area. We have no right to ask them to stop, as long as they are not breaking any local laws. mark

Donald, In answer to your question about santoria(sp?), I would report them to the the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(SPCA). Cruelty to any living thing doesn't make sense. Animals should be killed only to provide food or to ensure safety(as in the case of dangerous bears that might wander into small towns) if there isn't a humanitarian way handle the situation. This santoria practice is uncivilized. There's an activity ,just as uncivilized, in a small town in PA. Pigeon-shooting by men just to prove they're accurate riflemen. Another stupid practice by stupid people. They could just as easily(more so)use inanimate objects as their targets. These men, who are relics from the last century, insist they need live targets. Support the SPCA!!!!!!!!! Ann
