Katherine,

Duly noted, and apology accepted. I do understand that my (and Rosie's) beliefs are not shared by everyone else...In the United States constitution, there is a provision in the Bill of Rights for a)Freedom of Speech, b)Freedom of Press, and c)Freedom of Religion. We've exercised all those rights.

I know that Rosie's opinions are pretty radical, and right-wing, but when you believe in something, you defend it, don't you? I respect all religions. I attacked yours because you attacked mine- Some of my friends happen to be Wiccan, and if they're happy with it- good for them. If you're happy, good for you.

But, in every religion (with the exception of Islam), the followers of that particular denomination have to tolerate the freedom of choice of others. I understand that it was late when you wrote that letter and that you were angry- I have this wonderful tendency to experience "foot-in-mouth" syndrome on many an occasion myself- but even if you don't agree with our beliefs, why not just tolerate it?

"If a man smite you on one cheek, offer him the other."

If the beliefs practiced by Rosie and I offend you, I am sorry, because I know offense as well...Many a Southern Baptist has told me I'm going to hell because I pray to the Virgin Mother and the Saints...that it's idolatry. But, I tolerate the persecution. I can only encourage you to do the same.

Truce?

God Bless!

Republicans in 2004!
