My faith leads me to COMPASSION.

And compassion is a good attitude with which to approach the user, or 
would be user, of the products I work with.

My business card says, "Listening to Users".  It should or could also 
say, "and caring about them".

The content of my faith is a private matter -- something I'm happy to 
talk about off line with anybody, but not something I want to 
broadcast on a business-related list.  But the social implications of 
my faith, and the need for action, is very public.
