Hi Robert , IMHO yours reasoning seems to me very clear and correct . Now each head is a different world .... the Wittiness Of Jehovah believes it is wrong to have blood transfusion from other person ; moslem women believe that it is a sin to walk in public with their faces and heads not covered ; many are against abortion no matters whichever may be the reason to do it .... and so on . These people have the RIGHT to have their beliefs and practice them as long we live where each man,or woman, thinks he has the best answer to these problems .Now, it seems very rational to me that these people , or anybody have the RIGHT to impose their beliefs over other people that do not think they are right or correct . Unless of course if the world still wish continue to behavior as during the Inquisition times or Dark Age Warm regards to all , robert l dolezal wrote: > This is a fray from which no one who engages in it emerges unscathed.
