size=3>Ed is forgetting, of course, that "the soul of Jonathan was bound to the
soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan made a
covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul." 1 Samuel 18. So much
for Bathsheba. Uriah the Hittite bit the dust for nothing.</FONT></P>

trying to make us believe here? That David and Jonathan engaged in

verse is taken completely out of context and has nothing to do with homosexual
activity what-so-ever but with the bond between David and Jonathan (Saul's son)
as friends. Joan has obviously never had a friend she trusted or loved
with her soul. Or, perhaps, not one that she has not had sex with
anyway.</st1:date></FONT></FONT></P>
