or what type of God you believe in - I don't claim my way is the right
way - it is simply my way. I wanted to mail you off-list about this,
because it IS off-topic, but I don't have access to your personal email.

With all due respect to everyone who has contributed to the recent
discussion of the existence of God, I think that the God/No God question
is far less important to the subject of Parkinson's than a respectful
discussion of the politics of health in the U.S., Canada, or elsewhere.

If believing in God makes it easier for some to live with the disease,
fine, end of story. The rest, despite disclaimers, is intended to
convince those who don't believe - that is, it is preaching. It is
off-topic and comes close to being offensive. I don't want preachers
showing up on my cyber door-step, Watch Tower in hand.

This is not aimed at Wendy or anybody in particular. But I think that
debate about the EXISTENCE of God should be clearly labeled OT
(off-topic).

Greg
