I always figured that was part of the Plan. A Deity that truly loved all people in their diversity (and who truly wanted love in return) would understand that different people have different expectations of their faiths, and would provide accordingly. No way is better or worse than any other, and all measure the differences among us. Ultimately, they bring us all to the same place. What both amuses and frightens me is how we get hung up on incredible techni- calities (from a universal perspective) to the point that even the best of us gets sucked into the fray. It strikes me we lose track of the real reason we're here -- to understand ourselves, each other, and our relationship to the Universe. -- Byron C. Howes ...!{decvax,akgua}!mcnc!ecsvax!bch
