Replying to a message of Ross Cassell to All:

 RC> Why is it not ok for someone to be a Mormon?

Why is it not OK?  Speaking only for myself I don't care what faith - if
any - anybody espouses.

If somebody claims that another belief system is false or invalid, it should
be up to that person to prove that *his* belief system is true and valid.
It's often said that one cannot prove a negative, but one should be able to
prove a positive.

All the flak about Mormons seems to have come about because Hulett made
a comment about some other religion being a false religion, and that became
the flamefest that isn't really worth following.  Hulett apparently cannot prove
that one belief system is valid and all other belief systems are not; neither,
AFAIK, can anyone else.
