Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - July 1, 2000
I don't want to start anything and please forgive me Praise but Bill D ( or Brett Lemoine, as the case may be ), what about religion? We are constantly bombarded with non-logic to try to convince us what to believe. My favorite is 'Faith'. My personal definition of faith is belief in something no matter what the facts say. Picking and choosing of facts, taking the ones we can use and conviently leaving out the facts that support the opposite has been another form of non-logic trying to convince me of what to believe.

Some of you don't know me very well and I haven't had the time I would like to be here, but I'm not a flamer and I'm not evil or angry, but people trying to convince me that their way is the only true way otherwise I'm 'BAD' make me a little angry. Or that somehow, believing in what you believe in will make my life better or make me happier insults my intelligence and also makes me angry. Bills post just happen to hit me between the eyes. I don't want to change how you feel about religion and I don't care if you're right or wrong as long as you are happy with it. Just please don't come to me with words that mean nothing to me (non-logic) and try to change how I feel about my existance. I'm a very happy person so far.

In case it's not clear, I'm an true believer in you and me and it seems to have worked so far for me.

Love, annap
