Thanks.

That wasn't really pulling the stops out though. I could post and reply to my own voic-....I mean, characters for several pages.

That would be .....what's the wording in the rules.....overly irritating.

I do NOT consider myself a religious person, but I am a spiritual person.

And I find it interesting that many people who call themselves believers (in whichever flavor) don't actually follow the tenets of that belief. (IE Bush = "Christian", Islamic Terrorists, etc) Those people, who don't display the core set of values they SAY they hold, give those who DO a bad rep.

George Bush may SAY he's a "Christian" but you'd never know it by his actions. Terrorists aren't really following the Islamic faith. (hmm... similarities there I don't want to go into...)

So don't judge all the believers of a faith by the works of a famous person who isn't doing what he or she is supposed to be doing.

Does that make sense?

Hello, Im quite new to this thread. But, being a demonology scholor (or at least would fancy to be known as that) I've noticed that a lot of the demons and angels are the same, if not extremely similar, to most other ones from completely different religions, not only in name, but also in deed and supernatural powers that they posse
