I want everyone to know that I haven't been offended by anybody's 
remarks and I hope I haven't offended anyone either.  (Although I 
probably could've phrased things nicer!)  I respect jody, zack's, and 
everyone else's opinion and I've actually taken the discussion off 
list.  As with some other people, one or two of my emails never got 
through and it's probably better that way.  If another email pops up 
from me on the subject, note the time stamp because it's probably an 
old one, and it doesn't mean I'm still going.

I just truly think people evolved and cave men invented gods.  With 
this belief, it is hard to watch the world blow each other up over 
religious issues.  And if I'm right about this stuff, it would be 
almost criminal to not try to at least open a discussion on it.  It 
would be like watching somebody get mugged and not stopping to help. 
I guess the bad side is that it really does piss some people off to 
hear such "blasphemy" (oh my!).  Feel free to contact me off list if 
you want to continue the discussion.
