Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that Christians who believe in what the Bible teaches are barred from speaking up. Seriously, I believe that Scripture gives us a consistent world view on which we can form opinions and make decisions. It is an objective standard and starting point. The idea that my opinions are worthless because they are based on the Bible is ludicrous. I could say the same thing about your opinions; they seem even more absurd to me because they have no basis in reality. You only believe them because they give you a warm, fuzzy feeling. -- Tom Albrecht Burroughs Corp. ...{presby|psuvax|sdcrdcf}!burdvax!bnapl
