This exchange is very interesting and reminds me a lot a conversation in the Book of Mormon between a believer, Amulek, and another man named Zeezrom. The conversation was very similar. It's always striking to me to see conversations from the book of Mormon play out in real life. People often don't even know their arguments were played out a long time ago (1830 if you're not LDS, or more than 2000 years ago if you are). I think you've done a good job defending your belief. Despite the often liberal tone on this list (and maybe anti-tea party bias!), there are people here who also feel as you do in this area. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
