Which is all fine and dandy, but religions tend to put a threat onto their "education." That is to say, "Now that we have told you, you MUST convert or die." Sometimes we leave the "threat" for God to take care of, but there were people in the past (and there will be ag...

"portable" 15 kg rifle... 15 KILOS! That's pretty hefty for a RIFLE! Maybe they should just call it a canon!

and besides, every rifle has a non-lethal mode; just hit 'em with the butt!

You haven't been here very long DP, and couldn't possibly know how HONEST he was about his involvement. Don't call people liars before you do some research!

One of my favorite versions of "O Holy Night" is by Billy Gilman, done quite a few years ago. (On that note, I find his whole Christmas album very enchanting.) But his is not as 'operatic' as Charlotte Church's version, for example, which is also good but not as "clean" or "...
