This seems to happen a lot. I was thinking last night. The last thing I want to do is go off on people that I do very much regard as friends. I don't think you can talk to people every day for 5 years and not figure out how they tick and become close to them. This is why I regard such threads as not productive. If one knows that there are a large segment of catters that do have faith, that regard their faith as deeply personal and a very important part of their life. Then why would you want to upset your friends to the point of wanting to explode. I don't get it. If someone is preaching to you, confront them and ask them to politely stop you are not interested. But what is the point of causing hard feelings to those who have done nothing but offer their hand in friendship. I don't get it .. God to those who believe is no a delusion but very real in spirit to them and people like me. It is a glue that holds meaning to a persons life and it is a very personal thing. Everyone can find their own path. But most of these types of threads are nothing more than attacks .. I feel it is wrong and not something that is productive but you are free to do so. Likewise, you have to understand when good people go off on you for it . And you run the risk of losing people who care about you. Kinda messed up thinking to me. But anyway .. no hard feeling from me. I do apologize for blowing up .. like I said I have a few issues right at the moment .. (anyone got a cig)
