Gary,

What fact? Quotes from Biblical text? Almost by definition that is a
debatable topic. Personally I find the Bible quite useful as parable and as
moral guideline, but one should be very careful to not blur the distinctions
between fact and conjecture and belief.

And I don't recall Forest having treated your quoting of scripture as an
obscenity, he merely stated that he was more offended by that than by Tony's
slang. And I agree with him. Those are facts - we were offended by your use
of scripture.

Erik
