GP, where do you get a notion like that of me? I'm raised Catholic with 8 years of parochial school (which partly explains my perverted ways ). I am a firm believer in God and fear his retribution for my personal acts.

However, those are my beliefs and they are very personal. In fact I feel that one's faith and belief in a higher power should be of the very most personal nature.

I will never attempt to force my beliefs onto anyone else, and I find it the worst of personal offenses when someone tries to force theirs on me. For example, trying to pigeonhole me into a stereotype simply because I oppose the current administration's tactics against terrorism that seem to be derived from an evangelical rationale.

I have my beliefs, my religion, and I am very close to - and at peace - with God. Don't try to slander me just because I don't goose-step to your ultra-conservative black-and-white view of humanity. There's an awfully big world out there and it doesn't revolve around the GOP.
