Moderate? Communist? HA! I am about as much Communist as George Lucas is poor.
;) You can ask Larry P. even. Right Larry? :)

Scott S.

P.S. I think this is one subject that will never be resolved between
non-believers and believers, some will convert, some won't, so I try to keep out
of it as much as I can, because I have been in many arguments such as this about
my faith and God in many different settings, from home to church to work to
college. I will never falter in my beliefs over someone's objections like
Larry's, I can respect them, but I do not agree with them, and I probably will
never convert Larry to being a believer. So why waste the energy? I like
debating the very hot issues that matter to many, like Train parts packs and
bulk ordering!

That's what makes America great, gentlemen. I don't agree with Larry's
assessment, but I won't get gunned down for it either (At least, not yet, • who
knows in Clinton's America).  You have your beliefs, I have mine, we can • "agree
to disagree" as G. Gordon Liddy says, and we can all still build with • "LEGO"
products! :) Have a great day, guys!


Hey, keep the voice of moderation out of this.  This is America, where you
fight to the end over everything, and you never admit you could be even the
slightest bit wrong.  What are you, Communist?

:-p

(...) Yup, I'll vouch for Scott. (...) Eminently sensible advice. I'm certainly not out to convert anyone to atheism.

(...) No, debates like this are useful. It's true that you rarely convince someone directly by one posting - human pride tends to be too strong for that. But the overall effect of arguing sensibly for something can change people's attitudes (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
