At work I like it that I can see close to me. Several devout christians, a Jew a couple of Hindus. a Buddhist a Sikh a hew a couple of Muslims and a fair few agnostics and atheists. I know that such a thing is played out in workplaces across the world but if we all can work together in a friendly manner. If we can do it there then why not elsewhere?<BR/><BR/>Ah given the danger to teh environment I think heretics will have to be stoned in future!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1164922572340677442006-11-30T21:36:00.000+00:002006-11-30T21:36:00.000+00:00One 16th-century religious figure, Michael Servetu...One 16th-century religious figure, Michael Servetus, whom we UU's claim as one of our own (whether he would have felt the same is debatable), was burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553 in the era of John Calvin, who was reportedly really sorry he had to do it, but you know how it is, you can't let people get away with saying those things, etc. etc. <BR/><BR/>Servetus wasn't accused of witchcraft; he merely denied that the deity was a trinity. To this day, when American UU's see fundamentalists gathering firewood (metaphorical for now, but who knows about later), we get very, very nervous.<BR/><BR/>Besides, a serious purge of witches, UU's, pagans etc. would be really bad for global warming...Steve Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587223243120009776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-1164874685286487532006-11-30T08:18:00.000+00:002006-11-30T08:18:00.000+00:00I've been told Mullet!
