Backwoodsman, my accusations are against certain individuals, not a general principle.

One of the people I have the greatest respect for is my late grandfather. He had no formal education beyond the age of 12 but was the best-read and most knowledgeable and thoughtful person I have ever come across. He made his own mind up about religion and politics and was a committed Christian and a committed Socialist. He never tried to convert others to his beliefs. In fact, he seldom talked about either, even to his own family, but his entire life was devoted to his principles and almost every waking hour was spent helping others. My grandmother (who found it a struggle to bring up a family on a railwayman's wage) once remarked that if he'd been paid for all the time and energy he spent on helping others, he'd have been a rich man. His reply was, very simply, "That's not why I do it."

The fact that I follow one of his beliefs but not the other does not mean that I respect and admire him the less.
