Subject: RE: BS: Religious Canvassers
Volgadon. It obviously makes you happy so carry on doing whatever it is your religion tells you to do. Funny how "I know it can do so for others" has changed to "what I believe will bring happiness" but, what the heck, worse things have been changed in the name of religion.

If you fail to see the difference between recommending a new film or asking about my religious beliefs then I see no further point in progressing the argument. I know Lord of the Rings is quite emotive to some but I doubt vey much that it has been as instrumental in as many millions of deaths as Lord of the Christians. Somehow I cannot see Tomás de Torquemada sitting me in a comfy chair and recommending a new recipe for strawberry merangues...

As to taring with the same brush, well... You believe in an all powerful God and messenger sent by him to save the world. You believe you are right. You believe your religion will bring peace and happiness. So do the Taliban. What is the difference?

And my I remind you of something?

If you say no I shouldn't keep pressing, that's a given.

Well, I say no.

Cheers
