Whoa there I don't happen to think there was
anything fanatical about that message it was a simple
story of something that happened take it or leave it
up to you there was no holier than thou attitude there
and I dont see why every one has to freakout if
someone mentions god in the list. we talk about all
kinds of things on the list not just SCA related
either. I would hope that the people on this list are
as tolerant with each other as I know they can be
there are all kinds of folk in this game and
regardless of everyones personal veiws we are (or at
least I was under the impression that we treat each
other with honor and respect ) I am sorry if this was
offensive to some but I do not think anyone insinuated
that anyone was evil or anything of that nature.
