Subject: RE: BS: Where Have All The Messages Gone?
I think I know what SRS means.

Right now, in various countries in the world religion is the big stick. Fundamentalists of all colours are saying 'our way is right and all the rest of you must abide by our rules'. It creeps me out to have heard a religious leader down south saying, after the Shrub got in again, "We've put him back now he must do what we want".

I have my own belief which is not tied to any religion that I am aware of. I have come to that belief over years of questioning and learning. I do not want to be told by anyone else how and who to worship, or to have to abide by another's set of religious rules. Unfortunately there are too many zealots of all religions who want to impose their own rules on the rest of society.

A bit more faith in tolerance would do this world a lot of good IMHO.
