WALT
I am surrounded on all sides by the Xtian view. My lovely wife reads the
bible daily, my eldest son works in an inner-city ministry where his wife is
a preacher, and of course you all know Walt JR. After a recent family
gathering at Xmas, I made a remark that may sum up the feelings of some
others on the list. (Paraphrasing) "I love the believer, but hate the belief".
Best wishes,
Walt
