I know what you mean, Dave MacKenzie:
I check by once and awhile, as with other threads. I gave up commenting some time ago.

Folks are just too "fired up", agressively defending their "firm" positions" (on either side) to consider that the "religious" topics may not be as "black or white" to many others. It reminds me of a war, where there is no room for the middle ground. (You must be either for us, or against us). If you are, and post as such, you could get shot at by either side.

I am sure that both sides will deny being so rigid, or agressive. That is why folks try new threads, that eventually get overtaken by the same suspects.
