I like the Amish. We had a group that lived near my home town, and some of us ne'er do wells used to go play baseball with them. Fine folks. Never pushed their religion on us, just treated us like family, including that wonderful food. And man, they played hardball. I still have the scars from getting flipped head over heels as Yonnie broke up the double play. And you did NOT want to block the plate when Hans was coming home in the ninth and one run down. I still blocked it, and to this day I still can feel that hit.

I get along with most rollers, as long as the conversation stays off religion. I've got none with a brand on it. All the org. relig's want you to take all the hard parts on faith, and I'm just not made that way.

God would not take from us our free will, and thus that part of the glory that is ours. - Niccolo Machiavelli...
