Perhaps it is better to ask which belief has more precedence: 1) That it is wrong to force religious practice on others. or 2) a particular religious belief. So now it might read "Well, I'm personally opposed to XXX, but I have no right to force others to/not to do this so I'll vote for it." I imagine what it would be like in this country if the Jewish faith was predominant and I had a love for pork. :) ======================================================== Shawn Hicks balistik@wizard.com Las Vegas, NV, USA http://www.wizard.com/~balistik/
