- On the contrary -- it falls into the category of friendly hassling and is
- included in increase group bonding. Being a member of an unusual church
- (how many of *you* were shown slides of fun positions in *your* church's
- Sex Ed classes?), I get this kind of hassling occasionally, and always
- enjoy it (since it's part of the group bonding process, plus I can gently
- proselytise). It's easy to see other groups, though, for whom this hassling
- is not friendly and is therefore wrong.

- Shelley -- keep up the search! Compromise is possible on so many things,
- but not on (deeply felt) religious principles. Dating someone outside of
- one's faith goes well for a while, but how can you respect someone whose
- entire religious beeing is based on error?
