I will tell you what. Why don't you decide for yourself what you believe, and I will decide for myself what I believe? Does this seem unfair to you? ============================================== Not unfair if you keep your stupid beliefs out of a.a. Smiler, The godless one a.a.# 2279

So how do you claim that Harry Potter and King's Cross station prove that the Bible is fiction? ========================================= Where did I claim that? A tunnel exists in Jerusalem that is known as Hezikiah's tunnel. Kings Cross station exists in London. Both these 'constructions' are mentioned in books. Neither is proof of the veracity of either of these books, unless you can show otherwise. I bet you can't, though. Smiler, The godless one a.a.# 2279
