            Daryl Westfall is not the only person allowed to have 'phases'.

    You come closer to the truth by mentioning the extra spare time Cliff
    finds himself with.

            Could I borrow a few hours?  I'd gladly pay you back with interest.

    Nothing you've written has ever actually been published.  I could write
    incoherent nonsense that would outdo that stuff, but it wouldn't mean
    anything if I couldn't get it published.

    The Elite.

    I used to have a message base similar to this on the BBS that I used to run.
    Caused a lot of strain and unpleasantness among those who "had it" and those
    who "didn't." I sure hope this doesn't happen here.

    (oops, I was supposed to be quiet, eh?)

    It's nothing big.  I wouldn't worry about it.

    OK Cliff - I give reference to Chis. He is an upstanding member of Apollo
    BBS, intelligent, an active member and cute too. Now - if three more would
    do that for Chris and four more for me - then we'd be 'In like Flynn' right?
    Would four of my wonderful friends step forward? Love you. -=*) ANN (*=-
    P.S. Who ARE the members of that sig anyway?

    Ann, I will gladly give you reference to the RGB SIG.  The problem is, Cliff
    said that the people who where giving reference's had to belong to the SIG.
    To date, we only know of two people who belong to that SIG, Cliff and Sandy.
    Cliff said that the references couldn't be from a SYSOP, of any kind.

    O.k. Guys and Gals,  Where do we go from here?
    HELP!

            FANTABULOUS!
    Curiosity does it again!

    Why rush into a place you will probably want to rush back out of again?

    Elite? Someone say something about the Elite?   Hohohohoho

    Cliff wants at least four members of this SIG to approve Ann's access.
    Problem is, there's only three of us.

            On this SIG it is.  I can maybe figure out why Hawley is here but
    why you are here really confuses me?  READ ON.....

    Subject: STORY CONT.
    Date: 12/11/88  Time: 14:08:47

          After reading the first book of the New Testament I thought I
    had found the way.  I took the first four stories and understood them
    as a whole.  In no way did I come up with the meaning that Jesus
    wanted or needed to be worshipped.  In fact there was no one in those
    pages who wanted or needed to be served, save for a few of the local
    rulers.  People washed Jesus' feet, he washed theirs.  Asked point
    blank if he were the son of God, he replied, "Are we not all sons of
    the Father."
          I felt a kinship with all inhabitants of this planet.  I
    understood the messages, "Love one another, Do good to those who hate
    you, turn the other cheek, judge not, lest you be judged, by the
    measure you judge, you shall be judged, if you are angry in your heart
    with a brother and go to bed with this anger, you will be called up
    that night to account for this.
          I, unlike others who I would later meet, took the story of Jesus
    in the context of a simple brother of the universe who imparted a
    message to earthlings.  There was no mention of worship or He being
    better than others.  It was simply that a brother who had more
    knowledge, who had managed to overcome some pretty tough obstacles had
    done a deed by sharing with the less fortunate so that they may also
    rise above the ignorance.  There was never any, I am better than you
    therefore you shall serve and worship me.  This is the problem with
    religion today.  People are lost like ignorant sheep.

          If there were indeed a creator then it would most definitely be
    like a father, no more, no less.  I could say to my dad.....hey, you
    eat shit, pop.  No problem.  This is not what it is about.
          I went out into the world with my new found knowledge and
    everywhere I ran into another so-called Christian, a church-bred
    variety, all I would hear were these stupid, long drawn out prayers.
          Prayers, fuck....who in the hell is ignorant enough to even say
    one.  Does it matter?  Fuck no!
          The story of Jesus gives humans guide lines on living, nothing
    more.  There is absolutely NO reason for religions or churches.  If
    people followed the basic precepts that were written in the Babel then
    each would be a kin.  FUCK GOD, FUCK JESUS.
          What goes on today in this world scares me.  People are so hung
    up on going to church to listen to some asshole give his meanings to
    the same old tired story.  BURN THE BABEL!
          Most people in this country list their religion as
    Christian....most people in this country are bigots and thieves.
          I treat people as I would want them to treat me.  I know that
    everyone I meet is my brother or sister.....no doubt.
          THAT IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY.  FUCK GOD!
