		Re: Plagarism in Fantasy Novels? (was Re: Harry Potter?)
(...) Middle-earth, hyphenated, small e. Tolkien had a number of idiosynchratic spellings, such as dwarves. Orc is derived from Ogre, which is why you see fantasy games can get away with refering to orcs, but never Hobbits. Bruce (who got away with (...)

		Why are christians persecuted? Or are they? (was Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods?
(...) Hardly. I was speaking hypothetically, of course. I'm perfectly fine with anyone of any creed as long as that person doesn't get in the habit of violating my rights. Most christians don't.
