It's just a *book* (although a long-winded and frankly tiresome one at 
that). I mean, I find the Bible offensive in the most part but it's 
never occurred to me that the penalty for having contributed to it 
should have been death. Any faith that can't stand criticism surely 
contains within it the seeds of its own destruction. Who cares? Everyone 
is free to believe any ridiculous thing they want to believe - although 
maybe this is no longer the case in the good old US of A? But I'd draw 
the line at forcing all this bullshit onto the rest of us. How do 
Americans feel about Bush's statement that anyone who isn't a Christian 
can't consider themselves an American? What crap.
