OK, my point was that all major religions and belief systems have been used at some time by forces to adavnce their own muderous ends. However my experience is that most of the adherents of these belief system are generally good eggs and do not subscribe to the extreme elements, even if they oftena llow horrors to be domne in their name (just like us atheist demcrats) You are right that, they NOT us, have to put their house in order. If only christian Neo Cons in the US agreed with that. ttfn Richard ttfn Richard _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
