"Just curious, Iona... are you willing to give a brief summary of how you grew up and/or became Christian and came to these viewpoints?"

I assure you, "Iona" is one person. Not a comitte. Not an 'it'. :) I don't think giving my life history would suppliment the debate at all, and that is why I haven't supplied it. God can save anyone. Iona is one of 'anyone'!
