	I agree. I'm really getting sick of people automatically assuming
	gays are horrible and immoral. I'm not a saint, but I have a lover,
	don't fool around with anybody else, and don't have AIDS even!
	And believe it or not, I'm one of many gay people who believe
	in God.

	Before people go around making such stereotypical statements
	about a group of people, I reccommend they know what they are
	talking about first. So as far as I'm concerned, the guy can get
	off the ship... I sure don't want him aboard.

Since I don't get to the net often, I'd like to comment on Mr. Bottom's
position on church in school, specifically in regard to creationism and
evolution. The Catholic Church (which is my background) accepted the
theory of evolution over 30 years ago. The official position of the church
is not creationist, though less some Catholics caught up in the fad of
fundemetalism might be creationist personally. In Arkansas Board of Eduaction
v. Rev McClean (sp?), many Christian and Jewish organisations were co-
plaintiffs against the state, which was trying to force creationism to
be taught in school. IN fact, a professor here who has a degree in both
Theology (from a seminary in Spain) and Genetics (he teaches that)
testified for the plaintiffs (McClean) that creationism should not
be taught in school. So religion isn't necessarily anti- science.
But I agree, shouldn't be taught in school.

	I like my religion. In fact, I like studying all sorts of
religion. It's too bad people like "Rev." Fogwart give it such a bad name.
