MOST of what we need to know, IS in Scripture....all we have to do, is
read it.
To understand Islam, all one needs to do is read the Quran. The errors and
contradictions are many, so obviously it's NOT an inspired word from God,
which is one of the /*many*/ things that tells me it's bogus from
beginning to end.

As I said earlier, I'm in a unique position, but one I have to keep
quiet about.
So, that's why I talk about the Linux boxen I take care of, etc. 'Can't
talk about
part of my life. :(
