Hello Joe,

>JS>does NOT mean that we Christians need to accept or respect their
>JS>beliefs, and we most certainly don't wh those beliefs are contrary
>JS>to what we are taught in God's Word, the Bible. You can believe
>JS>whatever you want, but no one is forced to accept your beliefs, or
>JS>to respect them.

JB>By not respecting other's beliefs, you are by default, a bigot.

Horton has yet to hear a Who.  :)

>JS>By taking down those religious displays as you say you would do,
>JS>are you respecting the beliefs of those who put them up? Most
>JS>certainly not! You are preaching one thing, while doing quite
>JS>another. You demand tolerance, but refuse to show the same
>JS>tolerance. That makes you a hypocrite, doesn't it?

JB>Bob is the biggest hypocrite in Fidonet.

Ahhh.  The Great Pretender.  I was wondering who that might be.  :)

JB>Jeff Snyder is the biggest bigot in Fidonet.

We are all racists and bigots.  Some bigger than others.
But being the biggest of them all, even if only in the land
of fido, might seem quite a stretch.  But then, that would
depend if Horton ever hears a Who.  :)

In the story by Dr. Seuss, Horton the Elephant heard a Who, the
Whos having asked Horton to protect them from harm, which Horton
gladly agrees to do.  But what would have happened had Horton
never heard a Who?
