-Caveat Lector-
I suspect that this particular thread is starting to develop into another
Christian bashing personal row between some list members. I would like to
take this opportunity to step in and ask that everyone remember that there
are to be no personal attacks on this list, stick to arguing positions based
upon evidence. I will not tolerate an attacking of BELIEFS, or FAITH, and I
will not tolerate anyone moving toward a "my God is better than your God
attitude", or preaching or proseletyzing the list with Dogma and
denouncements for "unbelievers". Ones beliefs, and the faith that one has
that they are true and valid are strictly a personal matter and this is not a
forum where that is to be argued. Consider. . . Do you BELIEVE that Jesus
lived, died, and rose again and is your Lord, upon whom you are dependant for
your salvation or a life in the hereafter? If your answer is yes to that
then. . .if I were to say to you that there is no evidence that he lived,
that Christians are fools, that he is a myth, that the bible is allegory, and
that there is absolutely no evidence that any of what you believe is true
(whether any of the foregoing is accurate is for you to decide), would it
change your BELIEF, or diminish your faith? If so, reconsider your beliefs,
if not you see the point of why it is futile to argue on issues involving
faith and belief, no argument accomplishes the purpose it is set to achieve,
and one usually just lapses into name calling against proseletyzing. NOW,
having said all that, simply as a warning, there is nothing wrong with the
discussion of religion as it crosses into Conspiracy Theory, and this thread
has potential in that regard, so keep it on topic, and non-personal, and
abide the list caveats. Okay?!?!?!? Thanks for your attention.

hitherto harmed us little; but someday
the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying
vistas of reality, and of our
frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation
or flee from the deadly light into the
peace and safety of a new dark age." H.P.Lovecraft; "The Call of Cthulhu"
