It comes as a surprise, but here we seem to have one. Just goes to show that gross generalizations (of which atheists, too, seem to be prone) do no justice to the individuals within any sort of large group.<br /> <br /> For the morality/ecology link...what gets me is the people who think the earth was made just for them (the right color and everything!) AND if we break this one there'll be no problem getting another one. I don't if that's immoral, unscientific, or just plain rude. I’d certainly welcome any moderating voice among the baptists.
