Actually, just got back from the Dominican republic. Went white water rafting and just hanging with a good buddy of mine from California. We had a ball but the trip was too short. I used to go down there all the time. Also, In Aug/Sept I spent two months traveling around Asia, including China, Phillipines, Thailand and Indonesia. I can't even describe how good that was!
More to the point, the people who have discussed religion with me know how I feel, and Know that I respect their faith. They also know that I pretty much will beat up on their naked assertions (but not them personally) and ask them to challenge what they are saying. But when their faith is brought into the conversation, there is zero argument. That is of a personal nature, and the people that I love in this world are mostly christians. To disrespect that would be to insult the people that I love as well. I won't do it.
Dont worry, I don't hold any group (thiests) accountable for the type behavior exhibited in this thread Nor does it bother me in the least. I have seen morons from all sides jump on people for their beliefs. In fact, I just debated a guy that advocated Killing all "heretics" and then banned me from the website (he was moderator) when he lost.
Funny that.
Thanks again.
