No other gods exist right? Your god is the only one. Why won't he let
good people into heaven who are worshiping non-existant gods?
Why won't he let Jews in? Presumably he let them in until after the
birth of JC?
To me this is fascism of the highest order and is not what nice people
do.
Hitler tortured millions of Jews to death but that was nothing compared
to abandoning them all to eternal torment...

Write your reply.

assistant: Interesting - since that one fixes some things left out of IC16063.
Other references to the TCP/IP fixes all refer to IC17443, then
reference IC16063 as a  pre-req for it.  If you can't locate it, I could
make it available or email it to you.
My SLATTACH,EXE has the same date internally (version 2.0, rev 1.6 26
Oct. 95. PPP.EXE version 2.00, revsion 1.29, with a ref of 1.18b 27 Feb
97 also in the code.)  As far as I know, SLATTACH only does the
internal binding of PPPx to COMy and PPP.EXE handles to protocol
interface.  At least that would be what appears to happen from the logs
(PPPx.LOG, SLATTCH.LOG).  Also indicating that is that PPP.EXE was
supplied to enable PPP connects a while back - Warp 3 days I think.
And there is a SLIP.EXE.  If you get the Feb '97 PPP that should do you.

anyone into heaven the believes that Jesus died for their sins and trusts in
Him.  Third, he will be letting Jews in, just not every one (they could still
get to heaven by converting their faith).  Hitler Torturing the Jews have no
impact on this at all.  When GOD created the world, he wanted people to have
their own choices so that they would be individuals and not puppets.  I hate
the fact that Hitler did what he did, but you also have Charles Manson and
he
like here that do the same thing in our country now just on a lower scale.
The problem with this country is the Justice System lets the Murders,
apists,

make us TAXPAYERS pay for them to live like kings (TV, Steak, etc.)!  I would
rather give them the money for a bullet and put them out right away. (PRO

You'd rather believe an invention of the mind than accept the condition of
having no explanation?
I'm not convinced of the Big Bang theory either, but I'm a scientist, with
scientific reasons.  No one ever said we came from apes, only that apes and
humans appear to have evolved from the same origins.
So you have to believe that a Jew died for you to get into heaven, but you
can't get into heaven if you're a Jew, without ceasing to be a Jew.
Sometime before you die, you might want to consider taking part in a
dreadfully frightening activity known as Independent and Rational Thought.
