You give Monty Python too much credit. _Brian_ doesn't in any way represent any kind of reasoned argument against the foibles of Christianity; all they did was recycle a bunch of stale attacks, rephrased them as "humor", and ****** PRESTO! ****** a New Monty Python Movie. I reserve the right to be bored by this, and (just so I can save a posting) I reserve the right to be bored by the inevitable Rich Rosen retreaded reply. Charley Wingate umcp-cs!mangoe

[ROSEN] > You give Monty Python too much credit. 1) Not possible. 2) I was referring to your statement above about what you call "silly jibes" in general as described in my article. Does hearing such things bore you, rather prompting you to think about answers? -- Life is complex. It has real and imaginary parts. Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
