You are wrong, Jeri. What I object is not the discussion, and never once in this thread did I suggest that I have the answers. I have not said a single thing against atheists, or anyone else. What I object to from Clinton is his habit of summarily pronouncing people idiots and condemning them for their beliefs.

As to the subject at hand, I have said it several times. How I raise my children, the values I teach them, the religion that I attempt to use to show them a moral way to walk the world, that is my business and absolutely none of anyone elses.

I don't care if one worships, doesn't worship, or walks on their hands through glass. How you deal with the world is your business, and doesn't have a bearing on wbether we can be friends. All that is required is we respect and like one another. But when one takes every opportunity to ridicule, and consistently speaks of those around him in disparaging and patronizing terms, then we are going to tangle.
