My spiritual well-being is my own business. You seem to be a calm rational 
person, so why do you feel that you have the need to save me from myself.
A cheap shot to you perhaps, but the more rabid fundamentalists feel this
way. The big thing I see about a lot of these people trying to ban this,
that and the other thing is that they feel they have been assigned to save
the souls of everyone they come into contact with. I find this very annoying.
It's not like I haven't heard the arguments for each religion before. I have
headr them many times, so why do these people feel the need to ram them
down my throat one more time.

	Actually, I have a theory on the motivations of some of the (like
Jerry Falwell) who would just love to legislate a state religion. In my 
opinion, a lot (not all) of these people are simply on a power trip.
They could just as easily be crusading for the Earth Mother or Zeus. It
is just an excuse to control peoples lives. It gives them a feeling of
power. They don't ban D&D because it might pervert the children, they
do it to see if they can. And when they do that, they want more power and
try to ban other things (like evolution, dancing, etc.)

	Sorry about the flame, but this comment just set something off.
