DAVEH:  My interests are related to what Protestants believe, and why they believe that way.  Assuming you are a Protestant (and please correct me if I've mislabeled you), I wonder if you are at all concerned about the effect your actions have on those not directly targeted.  Basically, I am just curious as to how much thought you've given your efforts. I�m sure Noah had people just like you, being a preacher of righteousness in a wicked world.Thank God in Heaven John the Baptist was not like you, or dress would have been an issue.We can go into most men of God in the Bible who like me DAVEH:  Are you a prophet, Ruben? are more concerned about NOT OFFENDING GOD rather than those getting preached too.You do understand that Jesus offended people�right?If you wish to join me DH and show me how it done, maybe I could see how to do it.You talk or will I see you in April 2004 in Salt Lake City??Or are you just an arm chair Tuesday quarterback??�I say get into the game�I say get on the field�I say put on the helmet and leave the cheer leading to the girls. DAVEH:  Thanx for the invitation Ruben, but I'm not much for blood sports.  I go to the games to watch the cheerleaders....  :-)   -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
