Allow me to make myself clear.  I don't know if Rich was really agreeing
with me or being sarcastic, but for the sake of safety here goes:

  	One should not reject *someone else's* belief just because
        *they*  (the rejector) has no evidence that the belief is true.

I personally know a few Moslems and Jews, and have had limited
opportunities to discuss their faith and mine with them, and I have
never questioned the validity of their beliefs.  I think this newsgroup
could benefit from such discipline.  It's a lot better than shooting
each other down.  (I know, I've been guilty of a few flames, but I will
attempt to restrain myself and only argue for the sake at arriving at
truths instead of winning arguments.)

sigh ...   :-(
