And his response was indeed misplaced as he unduly took offence as a result of misreading what I said. In fact... what I said is indeed a credit to the Christian faith. If tolerance and consideration should be exercised to a greater degree then surely so should the desire to understand what each is actually saying be more sincerely expressed.. Maria was right you know... we are all wayyyyyy to concerned with shooting each other down.  Read just a few words and .... draw pardner..

We knew, but it wasn't misplaced...really.   In fact many other "off subject" comments are sometimes made and other's tolerance is called upon.  If you offend someone's faith (which Patrick says shouldn't be brought up), expect to hear from them...and be willing to allow another point of view that is different from your own.  Again,  tolerence and consideration should be exercised on all sides.     Lance Lafargue, RPT Mandeville, LA New Orleans Chapter, PTG lancelafargue@bellsouth.net</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
