	I went to a Catholic school for the first five grades back in
	1967-1971, and I'm left handed and not once did any of the Sisters
	raise a hand at me in order to "force me to be right-handed".

	So when you make a sweeping statement like that, and collectivly
	accuse all, first prove that you have finished your research
	and indeed exhaust all test cases to prove that no contradictions
	exist. Plese look before you leap...

	As for Foulwell, I think he ought to blow it out his ass, but that
	is my opinion mind you...

	These are NOT "two very good examples" of how '"rational" and caring
	our "christian" brothers(sisters also) are.'

	The examples are related in that Foulwell states that he is a
	christian. I wish people would not make an associative link between
	"Foulwell" and "christian". I cringe at this idea since I believe
	that Foulwell is using the nth edition of the Bible with all of its
	linguistic deficiencies to its fullest advantage. He doesn't preach
	intent of the Bible, just the word. I wish that he and all his
	evangualist friends can be banned from the airwaves entirely, but
	till then, do me a favor, turn the channel next time....
