- Actually, Ken, in most cases authorities tell women who have been raped
- NOT to do that; semen is useful evidence in a rape trial. (If I'm
- offbase, please gently correct me -- I'm going by what I've previously
- read.)

-
- Ken, I completely resent that statement. THAT is the sort of attitude
- which fosters bigotry, hatred, and genocide. "We're right and they
- aren't, so let's kill them."
-
- Ken, I don't believe in your God. Any God whom I could believe in would
- list tolerance among His virtues. Your God simply kills those who
- disagree.

-
- (Daemons? Deacons? Huh?)
-
- "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet." Why is that
- wrong and your interpretation right? Or is Allah the same as your God,
- and if so, why does He need two names?
-
- >Oh? If it is human to love, why do we kill?
-
- You're the one initiating the jihads here -- you tell us.
-
- No, that's a copout. We kill because people sometimes threaten the
- things we love, whether it is justifiable or not. And not *everyone*
- kills, Ken -- I seriously doubt whether I could or not.

-
- Says the relationship counselor. I disagree. Even people who have
- thought about themselves and their loved ones can be deceived or can
- deceive themselves. Sometimes love simply isn't enough, and sometimes
- love isn't there anymore. Not all divorces come from hasty decisions.

-

-
- Well, now, *that's* certainly a nice attitude. Does God want his people
- to be brainwashed if they won't come willingly? (I know -- "God wants
- crusade, God wants jihad, God wants good, God wants bad." Thanks, Rog.)

-
- The truth as YOU perceive it. I don't think God (if He exists) is nearly
- as narrow-minded as some of his faithful.
-
- "OH, AND KEN[T] -- STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF."
- "It *is* God!"
