Hi Greg,
As someone who advertises Christianity in their sig I would think that you believe that integrity and ethics are important traits in a person. If
That would be true. BUT, and that's a big but, if you study Christian doctrine you will see that we feel that no person is really any worse than any other (we all sin, are evil, and are in debt for it). If Bill asks God to forgive him, he is forgiven, and Bible says we should do the same with Mr. Gates. So to sum this up before getting accused of witnessing along with voicing pro-Microsoft stances on a Linux group, I hate the sins he has committed just like I hate the ones I've committed. However, it wouldn't be fair to hate him unless I myself am without sin ("He who is without sin, cast the first stone"). Remember, there is a difference in saying "I hate unethical business practices" and saying "I hate Bill Gates." -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

unethical business pracitices are ignored by Christianity then I'm glad I'm not a Christian. If you're just being forgiving then I understand but it sounds like you couldn't care less about how Microsoft got to be where it is.
