It is, in fact, so convenient that, were I capable of believing in a god, I might consider going for some brand of Christianity. The only difficulty left then, of course, is picking which sect to join. There are just so many. Dean Kaflowitz Yes, Christianity is convenient. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandments is convenient. Trying to love in a hateful world is convenient. Turning the other cheek is convenient. So convenient that it is burdensome at times. Dave. ============================================================= --There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
