Hi, bbc, good to read from you! I have some questions, though, as I don't understand "where you're coming from" as we say. For instance, where you say Whenever friends who profess unbelief sing gospel, it makes me a little sad - I'm just curious, I don't quite see why... especially if you feel that (as you say later) Belief comes from a meeting of what is within the person & his/her understanding of God. If my understanding of god is that there aren't any, yet I find many $mas carols and other religious works to be movingly beautiful, would it really make you happier if I didn't sing them? And if so, why? Just curious, really, not picking any fights or anything, truly!
