I honestly don't understand why religion prompts complaints and insults more than a discussion of the weather would (both being discussions about the way we see the world around us), but it certainly isn't the topic to be discussed in this news group. If I have set up the header to this article correctly, followups to it will go to net.religion. If someone was offended by seeing a cross in a signature in net.micro.mac, surely a religious discussion here must be much more offensive to him. Steve Munson sbm@Purdue.EDU sbm@Purdue.CSNET

>I am Jewish and am greatly offended by Mr DuBois' signature. >Sam Mantel -- Rochester, NY (guest@ccivax) >I believe that christianity is a system of "harmful lies about the nature of >things" (Aldous Huxley, quoted from memory)...Iain Massey It seems that the first respondent objects to Mr Dubois' response, but is more than willing to let the balance of the free world know what his faith is and the second is more than willing to announce his "religious" beliefs. It sounds like the two of you are bitching about the same thing your doing. LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE. Sam, you may be offended by his signature.... I think that may be a problem that you must deal with and not let the net worry about. A signature is a personal thing that reflects a little about the individuals personality. Iain, you've a right to your beliefs (what ever they may be), just as DuBois is, just put them on the right net and don't use them in a hypocritical manner. Mike McEvoy

God is laughing at whoever made the statement(s) which I mistakenly attributed to you. Sorry.
