Well to throw in a nickle and a dime ...I quite frankly enjoy discussing religion much like I enjoy discussing say literature or history or music. It's a way to pass the time and a way to see different views. Only sometimes it dissolves into generalizations and pointless arguements (" Well all pagans act like this... " " Well oh yeah...well all Christians act like this... " " And what about you Buddhists huh? ")and this saddens me cause then it seems no one is trying to understand anymore...everyone is just vying to show why THEIR religion is the best religion to belong to. I believe very strongly in a spirit of mutual goodwill and tolerance to accompany religious discussions...really the main purpose is to understand why the other fellow chooses to believe this way.

As for my own beliefs I am quite happy with my belief in God. If someone wants to know more then I will be happy to talk to them about it. Otherwise I don't bring up the subject. I never try to push my beliefs in people's faces but I feel no shame in believing and praying to Heavenly Father, supporting my religious leaders and going to church on a regular basis. I just don't see the point of arguing about WHY anyone believes the way they do. I mean...they're going to believe however the sweet hades they want to believe. Nothing you or I or the Pope or the President or anyone says is going to change that if they are that firmly cemented in their beliefs.

Okay...sorry I just had to get that off my chest. Yawl know how it is with me now so I won't need to say anything more huh?...I'll shut up. Ohh-kay.
