Why would it change a perception regardless of what religion someone is? And you know what, even if the story is pure fiction, but passing it around makes those who read it be a bit nicer to those less fortunate, is that such a bad thing? We need to pass around more stories like this instead of finding fault with them. And yes, with all of our members there is a great chance someone will say something contrarily, which is a sad state of affairs in the world we live in, imo. I think if each of us tries to make this place (earth) a bit better, instead of worse, we would all be better off. Just my half cent, and like I say, no doubt someone will disagree. It's ok.....everyone has a right to their opinion. best regards

to clarify, my comments were about the story and not pertaining to Tabe saying anything.....
