To enter heaven one must -believe- be baptised- and do chose to do good to all others. If I don't do good I simply must ask for forgiveness and try to do better in the future. I don't have to bow a certain number times aday- I don't have to beat myself -I don't have to make a pilgramish to any where. So elegant yet so simple. _ges- ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
