Yes, OXIDIZE... One of the major factors in aging (or change, or whatever)
is the damage that reactive oxygen molecules do to cells. Vitamins C and E,
and the mineral selenium have been shown to exert a naturally protective
effect against such oxidation.

I don't know if I actually feel any better since I've been taking vitamins,
but I almost never get a cold or flu anymore.

Great idea! But more details are needed. For instance - how short or long
can the story be? Three pages - four? Sould there be a basic theme? Or can
it be about anything? -=*) ANN (*=-

        How about no more than 6 posts long.
        No basic theme.

        I am not very original and need a lot of room to think with.

        Will the begining time be announced and everyone will have one week
to write their short story on a word processor? After the one week deadline
the stories will be posted? All a once? One per day? 
        They can be uploaded to the library and we can post them. That
should take care of any foul play calls on someone getting an exta day to
write and be creative.

Did Dean say at least 3 Apollo characters?

  Six posts is probably ok, and any story with three Apollo characters
should be acceptable. I had thought it would be simpler to just post the
stories as available, but uploading will be ok too. The one week limit was
just an idea, it would move people to get started soon though if they are
interested.

What you call "religious brain washing" has little if anything to do with
the problems you described Ann. The biggest problem in the lives of those of
whom you spoke was their own misconceptions of God and His Word, and their
unholy ties to a man made denominational doctrine.
 You must remember that God did NOT found ANY denomination. None at all. He
established one true church in the corporate body of His Son, Jesus, the
Christ, the Messiah. No denominational structure, all of which have been
founded by fallible men, and all of which are being promulgated and
sustained by fallible men,have any kind of exclusive claim to God's truth or
to eternal life through Christ Jesus.
 Your problem, and Rod's, seems to be that you insist on blaming God for the
problems that men have caused through the years, falsely claiming to be
God's spokesmen. Why not try letting God speak for Himself for a change, and
listening with an open mind? You know? Open mind? That thing that you
would-be atheists accuse all of us Christians of lacking so much that you
fail to see your own shortcomings?

I'm afraid there must be something wrong with my ears! I've never heard God
speak! Did He come to you in a burning bush or something?
Re: brain washing -- I feel my examples were classic! We learn about God
from other people - our parents, friends, church etc. Any or all of them
tell you the 'Truth' as they believe it to be. If your parents for example,
believe and preach in 'Hell and damnation', then you will grow up believing
that! Ditto, the Catholics, the Mormons, the Baptists etc. etc. Parents such
as these, very rarely decide to let their children decide for themselves
when they grow up. That's Brain Washing! Personally, I've went through all
of that and have came to a belief in God in my own way - not someone else's!
However, I will admit that some of the dregs of brain washing still linger.
But at least I can recognize it for what it is! -=*) ANN (*=-

        The last time you farted, brain matter from your head splattered the

could clean it up.  I promised not to tell, I know.

those rubber hip boots.  Where'd you get the sheep or are you into pigs
