It's just a set of beliefs. Whether that involves an acceptance or rejection of faith, a position of agnosticism, a fundamental postion in opposition to the asking of deep questions or a universalist approach that embraces everything. One way or another, you've got a belief. And that's your creed.<BR/><BR/>Ok, here's hoping I didn't make an ass of myself over-explaining something obvious.Matthew B.

Should you be discriminated against because of your musical tastes? I can see the headline now: "Fair attendees forced to sing 'What's This Life For' for tickets."<BR/><BR/>Imagine the parade of horrors!<BR/><BR/>Note: I actually like Creed.

Then, instead of appealling to people of faith, you could just defacto open these types of things up to groups that promote creeds. Good to see the fair embrace some common sense.Matthew B.
