However, if you approach others on this list with the intention of telling them that your deity will solve all the problems if we see the light too, you assume that obeying the principles and dogma's of your religion is THE correct way and will be accepted by all, because 'we are so used' to the fact that religious people tell us about their 'way'. I tried to make clear to you that 'your way' is one of many, that most 'way's' are completely different from each other, that history has proven that most religions fight each other to the death and that it irritates me that you don't care about 'the way' of others. > Peace comes when men embrace God's law. And there you have it. Again you assume that when I embrace the law of your deity that there will be peace. I know that you mean it in a nice way, but you know what, I have had already too many encounters with well meaning religious people and I am tired of telling them to leave me alone with my own stuff and not bother to tell convince me about theirs. How would you like it when I kept telling you that "peace comes when man embrace Donald Ducks law"? Man, it would be an insult to your intelligence! Can you not understand that? Is it so hard to accept that there are many and I mean - many - people who do not want to be bothered with the supposed deities of others? I do not accept your religious statements. I have not asked for them and I did not become a subscriber to pianotech to discuss this stuff either Nevertheless, again friendly greetings from André Oorebeek Amsterdam - The Netherlands 0031-20-6237357 0645-492389 0031-75-6226878 www.concertpianoservice.nl www.grandpiano.nl "where music is, no harm can be"
