Elspeth, sorry... my post and reply blanked out so I am putting in another if someone can remove the blank.

I fear your Guest reply may disappear too so I have made a note below of your anwer to keep it on the forum :-)

I look forward to the day we can all be friends and have respect. It is a dream, I know, but I can dream wondering what it would be like. I think it is healthy for people to disagree on a lot of things. I would certainly not want a cloned society, but respect and education must be high on the list toward achieving peace in the end :-)

It probably is a human thing...it wouldn't be normal for everyone to agree.

Exactly, there is a lot of confusion of 'faith' with 'religion'. People who have faith should of course be free to practise their religion, but there is a lot of religion without true faith that tends to be all about the achaic practices and NOT "love for all". Which, by the way, I heartily agree with as the most important message/practice"
