<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good for you Joan.. I am glad you are done
with it now! It started out with me making a comment about my thinking
your interpretation of one passage of the Bible was ludicuous and you, and your,
buddies turned it into personal attacks and slander. That's alright, it is
what I expected.</FONT></DIV>

Cowboy Dick you can give us some valuable instruction here. How do you

You dig, Cowboy? If not, allow me to make myself perfectly clear: I don't care
if you think I'm going to hell. I don't care if you think that homosexuality
is wrong, that I'm wrong, and that I'll find myself, post-mortem, on Satan's
shiny red-hot rotisserie. I don't believe in hell, and I don't buy your
interpretation of Jewish scripture. You can type "God's word" in bright red
letters six feet high, but that doesn't do the hermeneutical work of
convincing me that your beliefs are correct and mine are wrong. This is
playground stuff, Dick; the frantic screaming of a schoolyard bully when he
suddenly finds that he's been de-trousered. Cover yourself and go re-read your
Bible. Try paying a little less attention to the flashy denunciations of
Canaanite temple prostitutes and bit more to the Sermon on the
Mount.<BR><BR>I'm done with you now, Dick. Permanently. I hope others will
