>>How would you classify eating a meal that tastes delicious and then

>>suffered permament disability or even death from botulism that you got
>>when you ate that meal? Regardless of how satisfying and delicious the
>>food was at that time, would you still call it a good meal?
>>It's the same with Christianity. I did 'eat' of it, quite deeply and

>>caused by it, I know that no matter how tempting it looks and no matter
>>how 'good' it may have tasted going down, there is no way I would ever
>>'eat' of it again.

>> Just the way you say: "vomiting and suffering from cramps and

>>good example.
>> Excellent response Rhonda.

(DAVE 12/4) Farrell: If you really knew Matthew, Luke and I you would know
we have very significant differences - your point is silly. Everyone on
this posting encourages someone they agree with.
I hope you don't wear socks though, Farrell - that wool would get awfully
difficult to get out of your teeth.
Regards. Dave.
