In other words, I had the almight gall to disagree with the great John
(net.ghod) Haugh II.  What a *horrible* sin.  Oh, I am SO ashamed.
NOT!  Frankly, his description of my posts sounds like most of what
I've seen from him, what with his redefinitions and accusations of
'liar', etc.

I'd like to thank Mr. Haugh for this fine example of the typical 'good
Christian'.  It is folks like Mr. Haugh who make me hope that they are
right about their beliefs, since any reasonable deity would most
certainly condemn someone who uses their name as cover for the sort of
intolerant, abusive, dishonest, and generally hateful behaviour that
Mr Haugh exemplefies.  Under his beliefs, of course, I will
undoubtedly land in Hell due to my lack of acceptance on faith alone.
He, however, will land there because of the kind of person he is and
the way he acts in life.  Undoubtedly, my punishment will be just
being in Hell; his will be me being the person who gets to stoke his
personal fires.

Of course, it is also folks like Mr. Haugh who give religion a bad
name.  Try living by your own teachings for a while, John, instead of
going by your own lies and distortions about other people in rendering
judgements about them.  Personally, I don't think you can, but it
might do you some good to make the attempt.  Certainly the person
you've shown yourself to be here is something I would expect you to
rail against.  Oh, but then it DOES make such a difference that it's
YOU, doesn't it?

Good luck, John, because barring some change in the way you think
(which I don't think you are capable of), I'll probably see you there
(if your religion is right -- if not, of course, all bets are off).
