I can't _prove_ faith, and I'm not trying to. I was merely putting forth the position (or, rather, _a_ position) that exists within my faith. It's how I try to live my life. My choice. Doesn't have to persuade you, or anyone else. Just what I think. Tom Beck www.mercerjewishsingles.org "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
