What's with that?
I mean, even if they are wrong, you can still be a friend. I.E. I consider inoldonil to be a g0ood friend, and He's wrong all the time! Of course, being such a good friend as I am, I'm more than happy to tell him. But, how do you feel (Mrs. Starr polish) about the fact that, if what you believe is true, your friends are on thier way to a eternity of suffering? That would (and does) make me feel awful.

It does pain me greatly, and I've talked to all of them about it. I've even written a poem directed at one of my closest and most preciousss

my brother became a raelian after several years of practising wicca, which has made me fairly tolerant to other peoples beliefs.
but anyway - how did a discussion on the diets of hobbits and elves (and gollum! blech!) turn into a religious discussion? i don't think my diet's very elvish - i just had a big bowl of cocopops *burp* ![]() |

you know, afro-elf, I'm not familiar with any claim that the Magyar language(s) is/are branched off from Finno-Ugaric. Interesting, considering their ancestral home....

Hobbits eat bacon!
