Ouch! Flames on PDML. We better go back to politics, guns, and religion. Oh, that's right, this is a religious argument (apparently). OK, everybody, starting with that Graywolf fellow, sit back and take a deep breath and say, he is entitled to his opinion (no matter how stupid it is) and I am entitled to mine (ditto).
However, I think we would all get much more out of these discussions if we would listen to and think about what the other side is saying instead of becoming defensive. Personally, I think that when one starts name calling one has already lost the argument at least in one's own mind. But, really, what is the reason we are here? Is it to prove we are so damn smart, or to share ideas and information? Of course, none of the above applies to our resident trolls <grin>.
