(Continuing the basenote drift, since the basenote thread is pretty
much a mess anyway...)

So it's not clear to me who might be calling whom an unbeliever. Both
Christians and Jews celebrate seder. Maybe it would be those of some
other faith? It's interesting to me--and sad--that so many whose
religion teaches that God is all-powerful and too great to be known
fully by any person are intolerant of others whose religions teach just
the same thing. The intolerance seems as common between sects of
nominally the same religion as between religions. If you can't ever
fully know your god, who are you to say it's not the same god as the
one someone else worships differently, or as someone else worships as a
set of gods?

Hey, we might as well be discussing religion as loading coils...

Ducking,
Tom

Hi Yuri,

I was at Seder last night. Are you calling me an unbeliever?

Unfortunately Richard, to many, including some I am acquainted with, you
would be considered much worse than that. Minnesota is not as broad
minded as they like to pretend. Religious hangings weren't that long
ago here.

And, as the grandson of Polish Jews who, for some unknown reason, hid
their ancestry to the point where I was raised Catholic, I am obviously
conflicted!
