    Once again it amazes me how some of the writers to this forum can
    show such bias and narrow mindedness regarding a conservative
    viewpoint which is contrary to their own. The writer who used the
    term "bible thumper" is what I am referring to this particular time,
    but I have seen this derogatory thought numerous times on Orchid. It
    raises the question: why do the writers of a liberal bent think there
    is only one way to view life? This particular writer also said, " it
    reveals more about the personality of the writer", when referring to
    the "porno" issue. I believe he is 100% right, just as his comments
    reveal his personality. 

    Is it too much to ask that we not blast one another with our
    terminology regarding personalities that is meant to demean and
    belittle? I believe discussing the issues, and leaving our personal
    biases out of the discussion IS possible. As stated previously, I
    have read this type of reation too many times and needed to respond
    before I turn off Orchid permanantly. I am an artist and a
    conservative. I read the bible but have never, to my knowledge,
    "thumped" it.
