Before anyone gets too upset, here's what I think Alberto means: (1) An imperfectly understood principle applied with too much zeal can lead to serious evil. "Baptism is required to enter heaven, therefore infants should be baptized." (2) Uncompromising dedication to a misunderstood principle can blind one to greater truth. "I must not eat the shewbread, it is intended only for the priests." (3) God can extract good results from the evil actions of his children. "Wow these Anti-Nephi-Lehies are letting us just slaughter them. Maybe there's something to this new religion of theirs after all." -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
