Just got off the phone with penny about this- she is putting her baby to
bed.
She asked me to put a hold on the thread at least in terms of debating and
discussing theology.
She may modify this modding when she gets on later, but for now - tolerance,
please, by everyone, is the watchword of the night.

(Not a very Christian thing to do, but come now. She's a jerk.) 


Obviously you are entitled to your own opinions and theories.  
However, when stating your theories I do wish you would cast aside 
your intolerance of Christianity.  You can make your point without 
constantly belittling the faith of others.  Please save that for the 
OT board.

I believe there was a poll asking for all the above information.

Hmmmmm.....I'm finding it hard to believe you don't want to offend 
any of those annoying fundamentalists!
