Religious freedom (i.e. not having to worry about Seventh Day Adventists burning down Catholic churches and the like)...

ROTFLOL! I think a cursory study of religious history will show you that the Catholic Church has a very rich history of burning PEOPLE (not simply churches) of denominations they didn't like. Give me one example of an Adventist government persecutiong minority Catholics you might be able to make the argument that all religious groups will persecute if given the opportunity.

Ahem:

Ex. 23:24 says, "You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their {sacred} pillars in pieces."

So... do you follow that, or not? If not, why not? Is it because you know you wouldn't get away with it (and thus, you are not behaving very much like those much-vaunted selfless early Christian martyrs), or is it because you *disagree* with it?

But this is, of course, a Kerry-esque diversion on your part. Where is your proof that the very computer you are working on is a "Biblical concept?" Where is it written in the Bible that you are *supposed* to spend time chatting and argueing with people you'll never see?
