The ten toes of Daniel's vision is forming now, and remember that the Antichrist will come from the revived Roman Empire. Alan ______________________________________________________________________________ I would like to know the reasons why you allowed this article to be posted in your newsgroup. It shows, to me and a number of friends, nothing less than a rationalisation of anti-European feeling by pandering to fundamentalism, and I think is quite inappropriate to a newsgroup with a world-wide distribution. Your sincerely, Paul Moloney [While I do not allow personal attack, I certainly do not attempt to protect our readers against fundamentalism or anti-European feeling. I would object to posting that were anti-European in the same sense as anti-Semitic, i.e. if someone tried to create personal antipathy towards Europeans. However the view that -- based presumably on interpretation of Rev. -- the now-forming European state will eventually be taken over by Satan as a tool does not seem to be this sort of personal attack. The purpose of moderation is to make sure that postings are relevant to the subject of the group, and to prevent personal fights, not to make sure that all postings agree with anybody's ideas of correct or even responsible views. --clh]
