look chaps.

i live in a country that has been living with a
quasi-religious war for the last 600 years. people
die because of their religion.

now we can all argue (most far more eloquently
than i ever could) that the conflict in ireland
has absolutely nothing to do with religion, but
nobody can argue that it isn't being used as an
excuse. and that's good enough for me.

the computer world is a nice little haven far
removed from this gross stupidity. i only wish
that it would remain so.

i deeply respect (and indeed admire) people with
strongly held religious beliefs. just don't foist
them on me, thank you very much.

yours in peace and tolerance

In fact, the conflict in Ireland has nothing
to do with it at all. It is about the conflict
between the native population and families of
settlers who have come from England several
hundred years ago. It's about the wish for in-
dependence vs. the wish for strong ties to England.

I find it quite ironic that you mention the word
'foist'. I have on various mailing lists found the
BibleTime developer to be one of the most reasonable
people. In contrast, what I find in
this forum is that that certain people try to
foist their anti-religious hatred on others,
and that in a very insulting way.

If you are going to use GNOME, just go ahead. I
am convinced that it is the right camp for people
who hate.
