This includes those who agree with me, those who disagree with me and those who are indifferent. The only thing I ask - no, [U][B]INSIST UPON [/B][/U]- is that responses are courteous and respectful. Failure to observe this will result in post deletion and repeated failure will result in your being banned from my blog altogether. In return I will be courteous and respectful back to you even if I disagree very strongly with what you have said.I prefer you to make short-ish comments and using your own words to express your own opinions. You will of course wish to quote scripture to back up your opinion, but a post consisting of a long list of scriptures, or one which is "cut and pasted" from elsewhere, is almost certain to be deleted.Peter:)[/COLOR][/SIZE] http://bigchurch.com/blog/10901/post_136653.html?pid=f3104 What is the point of owning a cat?
