Like many Australians. we've used rainwater for drinking and never had an issue. Our house water supply on Norfolk Island was rain water and we lived on it for 3 years with no problems. As a kid, our house had rain water as did our house when I lived in Ceduna in the 1969-1970.
The handle is Lotz-A-Landies and thank you for your greeting. However I would prefer that you keep Christ in Christmas if you must give me the season's greetings at all although I don't celebrate it myself. What I do understand is that it is important for Christians and only respectful that we don't blaspheme His name.Quote:

Seasons greetings to you as well.

Sorry Diana,
I think I might have inflamed things by calling him a Luddite. I stand by that call, although I appreciate your attempts at reason.
It's really interesting that some people feel obliged to force their views on others, even though they are poorly informed.
All the Best,
Peter

Just to take this discussion to a whole new level of sillyness and even further off topic. There is some arguement about the lord being a 'he', while I don't pretend that I have the absolute answer to this debate I can say one thing for sure.
If people want to argue and get heated about whats good water and or not, which should be such an easy topic to discuss, then I can't wait to see how excited they will get about debating religion.
For the sake of an interesting debate I'll go with the feminists point of view on this occassion that the
lord is a woman... Any takers??
So from a very proud male chauvinist luddite who is extremely happy it is raining and filling our empty water tanks with either drinkable or not drinkable water depending on who you listen too...
Merry Christmas
Terry ;)
Yes Terry, it is further off topic and about as annoying as all the various Christmas stuff on TV. But it is their celebration and there is a lot of them so be it.Quote:

As I have said elsewhere, you don't have to hold a belief yourself but it is plain bad manners to go around disrespecting the fully held beliefs of others, be they Christian; Jewish; Muslim; Buddhist or a host of others. Importantly I mean the disrespect by illiterating the names of the deities, prophets and festivals they hold to be true.
Nuff Said.
