Careful John. Someone suggested that nearly 2000 years ago, and got nailed
to a tree basically for saying how great it would be to be nice to
people for a change. (To paraphrase Douglas Adams -- HHGG part 2). :-)
(No, I'm not super religious, but I can accept the bible as an interesting
story; maybe even as metaphorically expressed history. Either way, this
guy sounds like he was a pretty good dude, to me. Shame that not everyone
who professes actual faith is likewise.
Anyway, this looks dangerously like getting metaphysical -- I suppose if
anyone wants to challenge this one on religious grounds, they should e-mail
me, or move it to net.religion.)
Cheers, Paul
