Dearest Joe: well put and I agree. I do NOT advocate a "cleansing" of our language etc. to dismiss Christianity.

Poor Longhair,indeed! Well, LH, if this one's too much for a newbie, try the others. You'll get a grand taste of the diversity which makes this community truly an eclectic "bag". We may have our differences, but we surrreee are poe-lite about 'em, most of the time!

Now, Joe! You've been holding out on us with camp songs? I'VE NEVER heard such sacriligious ones in my life, YOU DISSIDENT, YOU! I'm gonna start a thread just for Joe's camp songs, unless you tell me there's already been one!**GRIN**

By the way, Rog (my "spouse" rhymes with "mouse" that's why I am a Kat!), is a former Catholic. He was raised by a very devout French Canadian father and first generation FC American mom. I've learned the younger generations, i.e. his siblings and himself, take it tongue in cheek and decide for themselves what seems to be right for them, within the context of their faith. I would classify them all as dissidents. Rog has since become more Zen in his beliefs than anything else. He still has cousins and scads of other relatives who are either monks or nuns and follow the doctrines to the letter, which is their right.
