IMHO, a lot of Chritians have learnt from the past mistakes of Christianity. Other religions refuse to learn from the kmistakes of others and prefer to do the mistakes again themselves.

Still, that's not an excuse. - Klaus _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
