I'm willing to relocate Mr Freedom to talk.origins.  Though, if he needs
to be 'broken' I'll be happy to crack his kneekaps with a baseball bat :-)

Well, that almost fits under topic of Assembly-89.  At least it's about '89.
Religion is _way_ out of topic.  (Unless you worship '89, of course)

How about those who receive this list digested?  It's real fun editing
digests later.  The point is, by continuing to post offtopic messages to a
mailing list you are violating ticalc policies and netiquette.

Don't get personal.  I do live in fantasy consisting of my subjective
perceptions of the so-called reality but what does it have to do with
this?

I've had my share of religious discussions and they usually are flooded
with 'lame' comments because people just don't know but still they keep
insisting on what they think.  Besides all should know that God isn't the
answer, the Answer to life, universe and everything is 42.  Now shut up.
