Zodie,

Would you please relax? Why do you find it so difficult to refrain from personal insults?

1. When did I say that Christianity (I don't think I ever mentioned Christianity) appealed to me BECAUSE it teaches denial of worldly pleasures?

2. I said that if I did not have a soul and were left on my own to "artifically" construct a system of beliefs I would construct a system based soley on the desires of the flesh. But I do have a soul and that soul demands to be recognized and is at odds with the desires of the flesh. None of this is a matter of choice...it's just the way it is.

What's the big deal? This is just the way I see it. We all have assumptions about the world, the existance of souls, and human nature. Why are you so caught up on mine? What is it that you believe in?
