Well, this is a new one! I'm now getting chastised for telling persons to stop offensive behavior, and then this person who is chastising actually *endorses* the offensiveness by saying 'he was standing up for God'. Well, surprise, surprise, so was I. Jesus detested hypocrisy, and blind commitment to rules. He ate and socialized with sinners of the worse kind, he did not say 'You must not be a Christian!'. I don't remember anything in the Bible that Jesus says that bashing is OK. Paul did alot of it, though. Jesus did not. The rest who replied to me personally told me of how often this list upsets them, causes them much more grief than its worth. And no doubt, the Christian warriors will simply say it's because theyve sinned, and they've brought them to justice. Dream on. No notch on your evangelical belt. Your attitudes turn people off because there are decent people on the list, not ones full of Satan and all the other things you say about people when they don't agree with you. See you all later. I've really tried. But the bashing is too much for me. The New Jerusalem Consciousness is hanging by my terminal, and I think that Jesus would think it's just fine if I tried to read it every day instead of this list. (happy now boys?) Deb
