Myself among them, believe me.

I blew it already.. OK, *TWO* replies, that's it. :-) Really!
I'm sorry if you think I'm ridiculing you. I do find christianity a bit
laughable, though. Along with animism, chiropractic, and socialism to pick a
few of many equally unsupported theories.
I guess I find it fascinating how otherwise apparently rational people can
believe in it (I'm not talking about "going along" by going to church in
order to get social position, which is common enough in many US communities
including mine, I'm talking about actually believing).

Why bring it up again, though? Both our views are well known. (what started
this present LP debate was, I think, me posting (what I thought was) a
relevant press release relating to the then current election... not just a
restatement of my views or anyone else's, but something what I thought was
something new...)

Fair enough. I'm conceptually familiar with Christian Macho Flash, being
guilty of a "little" Libertarian Macho Flash now and again. (you in the back
there, keeping score! How much do I have to pay you not to publish? I can't
coerce you but I can make it worth your while!! L0L)
