It can be deduced from this definition that the afore mentioned "virtuous inhabitants of this planet" are those who are good, upright, and moral. If I have to explain to you what is good, upright, and moral in this world, then you are truly one to be pitied. Moral, upright people do not sit on their hands and talk while thousands of innocent people are slaughtered.

> Jesus was a person. A good person with a good message. You don't have to believe in supernatural powers to believe that. I assure you, I'm not confused. But from reading your post, I had to wonder if you meant only Christians or only religious people by "virtuous." It really did come across that way because you used the word "heathens."

> -elizabeth>What is the point in believing in Jesus if is a liar? He said He was the Son of God and if you don't believe He is, then in your eyes, that must make Him a liar. As to the "heathen" comment- I would catagorize other people of the world who might be contemplating such a horrific act as heathens-yes! San
