35 (Short note before I le`vave:
36 Straxi surveyed the damage of txhe Bard's craft. He cisighed as he saw
37 how badly txehe device needed repair. "Piper..." said Straxi to one of the
38 aliens. "I can get the parts to fix your sxhip, but first I must contact
39 The Supreme Commander."
40 ` "Who is`that?" asked Piper.
41 Straxi looked at him in surprise. "wWhy, Master Goth, of course!"
42 (How's that for a twist, Piper???)

50 EMU: WISE WORDS IN DEFENSE OF RELIGION. (OR BELIEVING OR WHATEVER
51 TERM YOU USED). I KINDA AGREE,YET I AM STRUCK BY DISGUST WHEN
52 I SEE A TRULY "GOOD, HAPPY!" CHRISTIAN PERSON BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING
53 SUCH A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH "GOD". SMACK EM IN THE FACE. WITH A TABLE...

57 Doughnut: Why do you feel such a need for violence.
58 'yet i am STRUCK...SMACK em in the face. with a table.' And then of course
59 laughter, showing that you are prowd to be able to hit someone. That really
60 doesn't take much talent, you know...

63 YEAH!

65 But there are some instances in which I think it would be rather apppropos to
66 take that course of action. Particularly those who feel the need to
67 try and minister yto you, even if you wish not to be thus attended. My
68 grandparents verge on this. I was practically scared into it the first time
69 by those two, and the second time was for reasons I am not proud of.
70 However, I do not like to have such things shoved in my face. For example,
71 is anyone here fiamiliar with the tract "Signs of the Times"? We get that
72 every month despite the fact that we have never subscribed to said tract.
73 I asked my mother, who has many of the same views as I do, and she replied
74 that they had received that since they first got married , nearly 20 years ago.
75 It is these people who need a good dose of reality, that they are not going
76 to change anyone this way, just aggravate them in the extreme.
77 Another thing which makes me angry is that they question my education.
78 I have chosen, after a few changes of mind, that I truly enjoy speaking other
79 languages than my own. Last summer, for graduation, my parents enrolled me
80 in a homestay program, and I was able to spend a month in Germany. I really
81 enjoyed the time I spent there, and decided, given the dchance, I would live
82 there permanently..... masThis was received with "Are you really sure you want
83 to do that?" and "You don't really mean that.?". Of course I meant it,
84 otherwise I would not have said it. Now they are questioning my learning
85 of the Russian language....... The best thing to do is ignore these
86 people. I find it is very rude to try and minister to people, unless the
87 person wants to be ministered to , and I don't. When they force themselves
88 upon others, and make requests for donations, I feel that they have gone too
89 far.

102 I used to be really heavy into christianity. Lately, though I've really re-
103 evaluated my opinions on the ruler of the universe. I find that I'm becoming more
104 and more of an agnostic.....
105 Christianity is most of the time a lot of hype. Mind you, it has been and will
106 continue to be a major influencing factor on today's society, and it does teach
107 some veeeerrrrrrryyyyy good principles of life. However, I really don't need the
108 demands it places on my time and money.

112 i never thought much of religion... a fine thing to have temples...
113 places for worship... perhaps a sacrifice to a pagan god... but the church
114 is different... it is a tithe booth for a modern day roman empire... as
115 far as i could tell the times i went...
116 religion does teach ethics... but it presents them as a judgement call
117 that might... if you are nasty enough... end in an inferno... it is more
118 of an enforcement agency than a teacher... that isn't the way ethics ought
119 to be presented...
120
perhaps we ought to start our own religion... nah...

122 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
123 Emu -- (re: comment on last disk) agreed. I fear that I sometimes tar very
124 sincere persons with the sins of supposed "CHRISTIANS". Unfortunately, the
125 porportions seem to be quite high.
126 Zephr -- I don't recall who Goth is. The last Goth I recall was a character
127 in Schmitzes' _Witches of Karres_ ....

129 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (note)
130 Someone said they wanted their Alternate Reality? Fear not, "The Alternate
131 Reality" shall continue as it was started over a year and a half ago. Almost
132 too long of a lapse I would imagine... And while I'm at alternates...
133 Piper: Thank you for the note of explaination on the home system. I'm some-
134 what pleased to know that I didn't hold a misconception over you-
135 know-who. Life goes on.
136 L'homme: I've been off the line for awhile. Don't worry about the funds,
137 most anything along that subject I tend to take in stride. And I am
138 in no major rush unless you are, although it would be nice to have at
139 my disposal some materials I might recognize.
140 Prometheus: BW840404: That's odd; forty cols and all caps... Just kidding.
141 Guzmar: If you're going to add delays in your uploadings, this is absurd.
142 They're supposed to be fractions of seconds after each character, not
143 days between each call! Eh? That wasn't funny? Oh, never mind...
144 Keep it going, though.

163 In the sight of the Wolf, the
164 women layed apon her belly & baged
165 for that the Wolf would not bring
166 harm unto her..
167 & Low & behold the Wolf opened
168 his hand, & there was great
169 light from which it emerged.
170 & from forth A neckless did
171 emerge & fall unto the women`s
172 open hands.
173 Great blashamy was hered in heaven
174 as well as Hell, & the Wolf
175 gathered with the Dragon, & thy
176 saw the end of time before them
177 & thy spoke out unto all
178 existing beings & said unto them.
179 Come for we are Gods among you All
180 & all who were not in the Book
181 of Life slain from the Lamb,
182 worshiped the Dragon & the Dragon
183 gave his power unto the Wolf, so
184 he may do his bidding .
185 & the Beast watched the Dragon &
186 the Wolf gain power, & the Beast
187 came unto the Dragon & bowed
188 infront of him saying thou art thee
189 unholy one thou art the most high
190 of high. & the Dragon was pleased
191
192 & He told the Beast to gather his
193 armies & he told the Wolf to
194 gather his arms. & Mass them in
195 the West.. & the Dragon gathered
196 his army & it was fearse.
197 And the crys of the seventh angel
198 opening the seventh seal could be
199 heared throughout Heaven.
200 And there was sorro among the
201 Angels & among God.
202 For apon the world it had risen
203 to conqure the war of hatered.
204 And the Dragon stood apon the
205 Mt.Everist. & called unto the
206 God, & ther was lightning which
207 amerged from the heavens, & there
208 could be seen a multitude of
209 Angels apon wite horses.
210 & thy came unto the Dragon &
211 tryed to talk peace, & the
212 Earth shook at the Dragon`s
213 blasphamy, the Angels drew there
214 swords unto the Dragon & were
215 casted into the spining cycel of
216 Hatered..
217 Crys were heared by the saints as
218 thy stood by the side of the Holy
219 one, who said unto them prepare for
220 Battel my children for the Dragon
221 has come, & he shell destroy
222 all but me, So thou must meet thou
223 destany for in me you may live for
224 ever. & the Most High Saint`s
225 gathered at the Gates of Heaven,
226 And waited for the Dragon & his
227 army of HATERED to come.......
