Having spent over two decades working with "drunks and drug/sex addicts" the mentaly ill and homeless, troubled youth and criminals.....I would rather spend an eternity in thier company rather than five more minutes in the company of the psuedo spiritual wannabies like Kohli and Manec. In all the time I spent with such folk of remarkable endurance, humor and SPIRIT I was never falsely accused nor felt endangered or abused. The down and out may at times carry a knife....but never as sharp or quick to cut as the tongue of the Baha'i appologist. Rod.
