[CAUT] Tuning--again

[Richard Brekne]

   Yes... well Ben... not meaning to be intolerant or anything... it is 
basically just plain good form to find appropriate places to share ones 
beliefs one way or the other about things like God,  Nirvana, 
Reincarnation, Indagadadavida, the Big Bang...  Evolutionary theory, or 
whatever....  Not to mention that to begin with I doubt seriously J.C. 
himself would smile nicely at the idea of pointing ones very human moral 
finger at another over such an issue, and then insisting on stuffing it 
down everyone else mailbox whether they want it or not.

I dont hear any Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Shinto's, Bai Hai's etc etc 
etc ad absurdum.... let alone agnostics or atheists insisting on pushing 
their trips on folks here.  You want to do the Christian thing... fine.. 
go for it.   There is a time and a place for the preaching bit.... and 
it aint here.  Here... its plenty suffice to hold oneself to the "do 
unto others" bit... or whatever corresponds to your particular belief set.

        Dear "We,"

     
    I believe some of the criticism of him is a result of the openness
    with which he approached his faith in God, and has nothing to do
    with how good a technician he is. That is part of what I was getting at.

    As for the suggestion that observations about the relationship
    between morality, piano technology, and religious texts are not
    necessarily appropriate and whether or not these have a place on the
    CAUT list, I can only remind you that there are many Evangelical
    Colleges and Universities that employ piano technicians in this
    country that teach the bible is in fact a directive source for
    conducting a moral life. As piano technicians working at accredited
    schools, do they also not belong on the CAUT list along with my last
    post?

    Who is being intolerant, the Evangelical piano technicians working
    at bible colleges who rarely mention God on the CAUT list, or the
    people forbidding so much as any mention of the slightest thing
    approaching God on the CAUT list?
