Wow, thanks for the nice compliments guys. ;-) >For every loud mouthed religious zealot with an agenda, there are thousands, >probably tens of thousands, of believers quietly leading a good life replete >with faith. Very true. I find the loud-mouthed zealots distasteful myself, and wonder what Bible are they reading exactly because it must not be the same as mine. But for every person that has used religion to take advantage of people, spread hatred, or advance their own personal agenda, there are many more that through it do amazing good in the world. Those are the ones I seek out and associate with. Nor do I consider it just coincidence that when I did decide I wanted to give church a try again, of all the ones I should end up at, picking out of a phone book at random, it was one led by a pastor that had as much of a science background as I did and could help me see that science and faith need not be mutually exclusive. >(does anyone ever call you MJ, out of curiosity?) All the time. ;-) I still get a laugh out of the "MoJo" on here too. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
