Hello shannon.

     As I read his statement (Bjorn, please correct me if I am wrong) he is
saying that he hates those that hide behind their religion to justify their
actions. I don't see God or whatever deity you prefer making people do
anything. People decide to do what they do. Then claim that the devil made
them do it.

     This much is true. And people are free to feel that way too. But that
doesn't mean that others can't or shouldn't talk about religion. No matter
what or how much one does something there will be people that like, don't
care, or dislike it.

     I don't consider myself a Christian as such. I believe in the existence
of a higher being. But I don't go to church much at all. I don't need a church
to do my praying. I tend to drink occasionally and I say damn or hell
occasionally. <g> If people can accept that then fine. Otherwise it is their
problem and not mine. In fact I dislike people that try to push their religious
beliefs onto me. Which means yes Michiel, while I may respect their religious
beliefs I am not crazy about Jehovah Witness's pushy manner either.


 st> Realizing this, he still continues to accuse me of "hiding behind my
 st> god". Therefore, since he accuses all Christians of hiding behind
 st> their god, and has stated he hates all Christians who hide behind
 st> their god, then the logical conclusion is that he hates all
 st> Christians.  Don't read between the lines, "read the lines he wrote".
