Religion on the L was:LARRY TAYLOR: Support 1st First Amendment, REAL BLUES 12/2 and 12/10

[Rocky Raccoon]

List-owners (Fred, Max, Bill),

May I respectfully suggest that this thread stay off
of the list.  While politics and religion may give
some people the blues I don't think this is the forum
for this discussion and I fear where it will lead.

Just my thoughts, I may be wrong....just ask my
wife!!!  :)
