From article <CHRISTIA%90011105281216@FINHUTC>, by 86730@LAWRENCE (Bill Sklar): > I didn't know "information" had to be Christian and non- > Christian. i.e., we're talking a list of basic facts here which > are researched and supported-- not a bunch of people stating their > opinions. I don't think it has to be Christians who do the infor- > mation gathering in order that we gain something from it. I don't either, but what I said was the the use to which fact can be put might be found objectionable. I did *not* say that it would *necessarily* be so (most of the mail I got about this seemed to reflect a belief that I did say that, but I didn't). I don't have a problem with the rape information being posted. However, if it's what I think ("myths about rape"), then it will not necessarily be "fact", but MAR's idea of what needs to be "debunked". And their idea of debunking and someone else's idea of debunking may easily be different. That's all I meant. I'm not trying to say (i) that rape isn't serious; (ii) that rape shouldn't be prevented; (iii) that all knowledge must come from Christian sources; (iv) that non-Christians are *necessarily* wrong about rape/rape prevention.
