	no I am not about to RR anyone, or complain to GR BUT I am disgusted to see the way in which you think it amusing to make fun of an old gentleman ................. ................ and of a religion. I'm sure those of you who belong to any of the other religions would not be amused at someone making fun of it, or of the top man in it. You all sound like idiotic teenagers instead of grown men and women! Let him retire in peace, and live out the rest of his life in privacy ............ however long that life may be and stop making fun of religion. declaration ................... I am not a member of a religion. I only go to church for hatchings, matchings and dispatching but I do not like fun being made of any religion.

	I've got an idea. Ann, why don't you print off some recent threads where religion has been 'discussed' and give them to your Rector for his perusal. He will either come up with some more thoughts or he will be bitterly disappointed in you. Just an idea.

	FGS here we go, I have a better idea why dont you try reading the posts properly, I have certainly not insulted any old Gentleman, I have made no jokes at the Pope directly or about his retirement and believe there is plently around this evening, I suggested that they use a younger gentleman for the job I see absoloutely nothing wrong with idea. surely even someone under 50 can be wise and intelligent. FGS why am I even trying to justify myself to the likes of you and this is why religon gets such a trashing from non believe often it is understood that any one that believes loves and trusts in God is a miserable flumpy moaning mare.
