I respect your right not to believe -- just as God himself gave you  
the freedom not to believe -- but  I am requesting that you think of  
others who do, however misguided you may think we are.  Not showing  
the creator of the universe the simple respect of capitalizing His  
name is as offensive as, say, casual mentions of the rape of a 10  
year old girl.  It's that important.

Thanks much.
