This isn't a political issue, or even a religious issue, and for whores
and AIDS: that's a health issue.

|OK, this thread I think got way out of hand.. I even said in the original

You did the correct thing, you pointed out something.

|I've only stepped inside of a church once.. for a wedding.. so, I'm definitely

If you went to church every day what is wrong with that, and if you never
went to church, nothing wrong there either. Religion is a very personal
issue and freedom of choice (even the choice of none) is paramount.

|I just know that if one of my programs at work printed out a line like that, I

There is nothing anti/pro religion about the words mentioned, unless Sun
is a religion: the other word explains how we go here :-)
