Your less-than-polite reply to my D&D posting only tells me that YOU are the one with a "narrow mind." Your knowledge of Christianity is less than complete. I'm sorry if my posting "cluttered up" an already cluttered net, but my main, unstated, attempt was to get rid of religious stereotypes, which are as bad as racial stereotypes. A little understanding and communication between people never hurt. Unfortunately, from the acrid tone of your letter, you appear to be as much of a zealot out to give Christianity the axe as are a very few zealots of the Protestant persuasion who are out to axe D&D, of which I am not one. Why such a bitter tone? I cannot figure it out. I will, however, start praying for you, that whatever is causing such caustic reactions to Christianity and/or others will go away. It will make you a happier person. If you wish to continue corresponding, I feel there are many positive things we can discuss. I don't shove my faith down your throat. If you have serious questions, ask, I'm more than happy to answer. If all you want to do is to anonymously throw stones, then go right ahead, I'll just consider the source. In a spirit of peace, Martin -------
