LENNY

Thank you John!  I think you paid me a compliment.  Actually I am still
leaning the *constructs* I am fairly new to this.  But I am having fun.  As
for your statement:

*I do think he has a vested emotional interest in not admitting any bible

>mistakes,*


I agree with you 99.9%.  I would like to think of myself honest enough to be
able to see mistakes.

I am not sure on the subset (21 and 47).  These things can be hard to
understand unless they are spelled out, and they were not.  Some depend on
how the question is asked as well.

1.  Do you believe a woman has a right to choose?
2.  Do you believe a woman has a right to kill her unborn baby when it would
be able to live outside the womb?
