This is more of open letter to Rich but I think it's applicable. That long 340 line analysis and recap was excellent. It was the best you've done. I now understand you a bit better and it is consistent with the image I was forming of you through net.women(porn) and net.abortion. I agree we both are abrasive but now I'm certain that nothing is personal. Do I understand the assumptions behind my arguments??? Well that is why I try to cite my sources. I don't want the reader to assume too much. I am sorry that Rich takes such a dim view of organized anything particulary religion. After all, I have obseerved the effects of "oraganized secular humanism" and you guys are JUST as doctrinaire, and at times just as intolerant. Rich has said that I am wrong in no uncertain terms. I've done the same to him. We Both get mad about the error of the other side. What to do????? Well I've saved the article and I will attempt some soul searching and I will attempt to refute his points bit it will take yet more time. The problem here is that Rich considers invalid the assumption and or belief in the SUPERNATURAL (I think) especially God. I believe in it and I think that I have sufficient evidence to support it. NO I don't have his phone number. Arndt does though ask him... :-) It is going to be difficult to get past Rich's objection since most of my arguments stem from that. AS FOR YOU BORN AGAINS SAYING THAT WE RC'S HAVE BEEN LED ASTRAY? ARGHHHHH!!!! ( :-) ) Gimme a break it's badd enough that I get it from Rosen!!! :-) Vince PS thanks for the quote Rich It may be my only chance at publishing
