with it on these cycling newsgroups. Even though I am an atheist, I like to defend religion because I believe most folks are better off with it than without it. In the real world, most cyclists that I have ever met are quite religious. They will even take time out from a tour to attend church on Sunday mornings. Apparently, the kind of cyclists who post to Usenet newsgroups are a special breed. If you are without the faith, there is no help for it, but it behooves you never to denigrate religion. Sometimes I think it is the only thing that saves us from ourselves. We are all of us subject to illusion of one sort or another. Progressive liberal secularism may be the greatest illusion of them all. And it is highly religious as any fool would recognize. All you have done is replaced God with Man. Not a good trade in my opinion. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota Other posts:
