[2] I believe that that remark was just a thoughtless gaffe, the kind of which none of us are immune from. [3] But I think it is important that we not take our beliefs too seriously - that we not be excessively self-righteous or overzealous. [4] It might also be worthwhile to recognize that evidence indicates that intercessory prayer does not work. Dear all, It is interesting to note #s 1 & 2 supra where Santoshbab says he 'believes'. He gave me additional reason to believe in my beliefs until he places #3 wherein he then goes on to say that we (should) we not take our beliefs too seriously. Hummh! Seriously though, I'd like to study the evidence Santoshbab refers to in #4 sincerely jc
