Not one to usually indulge in off-topic discourse. You however are 
correct. Might we allow for the separation of religion/culture from the 
real essence of the Divine? One rarely has anything to do with the other.

As for Sonny's observation about sex and the lack of stigma that it 
carries in Judaism, I respect his opinion, but where has he been hanging? 
Not at my family dinner table where there were both Jews and Catholics. 
There seemed to be a neck in neck neurosis derby concerning said topic 
from both sides of the Judeo-Christian divide with me not seeing a clear 
winner on either. No offense but sex and neurotic, irrational behaviour 
seems to go together like  peanut butter and jelly. That, at least to my 
powers of observation appears to be one of the few universal truths. 
Different cultures may couch it in seemingly healthy ways, but it all 
comes down to weirdness in the end. I am in agreement that making the 
beast with two backs is indeed the best of the human experience, but a 
lack of stigma? Well.....uh....okay......

That and has anybody tried the new Boss RC-20XL?

Good point, Michael. 
Question: which is worse: a theocracy, or a godless, dehumanizing 
bureaucratic regime?
Answer: THEY BOTH SUCK!
Just trying to be even-handed here (hee hee!)

ok, I'll bite on the OT flame...

> billions of men who can't get laid and have nuclear weapons scare me.

Just curious, but do they wear funny costumes and hang outside your 
house?!  Or is it just the thought that scares you...
I take it this is in jest given your exaggeration of population numbers, 
but it works both ways.

the thought of millions of christians (not exactly the world's 
casanovas) with more nuclear weapons than the chinese and a written 
eschatology (a belief in the necessity of the end of the world) that 
demands the purging of non-christians scares me!  Just the thought of 
someone with a finger on the trigger looking to prove the bible right 
has to inspire some form of anxiety...

all in fun,
