Uncle Dave brings up a good point. I have heard people who claim the love of Christ say things that appalled me about gays about people of non faith ... you hear it on TV with some Preachers talking like those of no faith are right there next to Hitler or something ... One thing I know for certain in this life is hate spawns hate which spawns more hate and so it goes ... Again what ever happened to live and let live. Free will is so important, the right to choose ones path in this life without interference from any other person or group .. For me, my faith makes sense, I don't want to go through life thinking cosmic accident and I have had too many things happen to me that made me believe in my faith ... and yet I too challenge it all the time and one should .. the challenge only makes my faith stronger. However those who choose a different path that doesn't conflict with me in any manner at all. As long as they do not infringe on my rights. All too often I have seen and heard way too many messages of hate against other groups who choose different. That is why there is such a difference between faith and religion I think. I could never do that nor anyone I know who believes in God

I suspect Uncle Dave hit it on the head here
