If I had to choose I think Buddism would be closest to being comfortable with. (even though it is not a religion) There is a lot of smart out-of-the-box thinking going on over that way. Gareth.

From 1990, to 2001, the percentage of Americans who identify as "christians" dropped from 86%, to 77%. Since the newest figure I found is 5 years old, I'd guess the number is even lower, by now. One would at least *hope* so, for the good of the country. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_prac2.htm ------------------------ Steve McQ "Could I have less stupid bible-thumper in my monitor, please?"
From: Joseph Ashwood on 4 Feb 2006 01:40 "Judge not, that ye be not judged." KJV Matt 7:1, original KJV text "Judge not lest ye be judged" Might I suggest, that before debating the merits of your particular variation of Christianity you read the only common distribution of a direct translation, the King James Version, preferably the original and examine for yourself exactly how Christian you truly are.

Speaking of Helmholtz, his " On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music" makes a very interesting read. Probably the first to combine the physics AND the psychology of hearing. -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com
