You do not know the damage you are doing to yourself and others, Charles. You are heaping great wrath upon yourself, and I care too much about you not to warn you of this. The warnings are from Jesus and false teachings, those who mislead people into believing falseness and all manner of lies:
>>
>>Come out of that yoke of bondage, Charles. >>
>>Rick, if you'll notice, I defended what you were doing, until 30 seconds ago.

>>You have the right to say anything you want. But while you have a right to speak of how God enriches your life, etc. - it's "not right" (and certainly not cool) to project that on others. I don't tell people how to believe and I certainly don't say "come out of that yoke of bondage". If you want to say "I have faith in Jesus as God's son", etc. that's fine - I never challenge anyone's faith. But projecting this "you are heaping great wrath" on others isn't going to result in anything positive.

>>And since I always try to find humor in things, I believe I'm speaking for both Charles and Mike and myself when I say a little bondage is not necessarily a terrible thing <s>

>Kevin, you are very naughty.
Perhaps he need discipline.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
