But of course. What's more. I never understood why do christians get so angry when someone kills their children. After all they are innocent, they'll go straight to heaven. And this wonderful killer who sacrifices his immortal soul in order to send all those kids straight to heaven should be treated right and with respect and thankfulness. Or don't you believe in heaven? Maybe you'll tell me he should be punished for taking what god has granted. But that's god's business, I think he's resourceful enough to manage without you. You on the other hand, should be thankful with the killer for sending your babies to heaven. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
