There's nothing to learn. If you're trying to persuade someone to abandon their beliefs, having some sort of understanding as to just what it is they believe helps.... Julia i enjoy dialogue about religion and politics, but i have no expectation of changing anyone's belief. i don't think it is possible to persuade someone to believe or not believe, that is something one comes to on their own. even as a child and brainwashed in catholic school i had doubts. conversions occur in both states of mind, but i believe that any person comes to either path based on their own predilictions. jonsan Knowledge is Power --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
