Bee,

My invitation to make the attempt was not a criticism of what had been posted, but a genuine invitation to try a different approach than the usual sh*t-flinging these sorts of threads have always become here at Mudcat.

I renew the challenge to make one's case without giving in to the felt need to argue God with believers-- and believe me, the case would be so much stronger if people didn't let the rigid religious right drive the agenda by responding to it negatively. In fact, people could make a lot more hay with them by using their stated beliefs to respond to their positions, if they didn't allow themselves to be drawn into a He Said/She Said debate on belief itself.
