-- [ From: John H. Rodgers * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- This always stirs up a firestorm about free speech, but in respect for each other it WOULD be cool to refrain from using the names each others Deities in a profane way. To use someones Deity's name that way reflects a lack of respect for our fellow man, whoever he is, be his Deity named Jesus, Allah, Budha, The Great Manitou, or whomever, whether his relegion springs from the Bible, the Torah, the Koran or tatooed writings on the blackened old hide of Lazarus. Yep, it would be very cool, very respectful, not to use those expressions. IMHO. John Rodgers '85 GL Driver |
