L.H.: I didn't mean to imply that conservatives have a monoply on religion. Of course that is not so. I was referring to many Mudcatters who have posted anti-religious posts on a variety of threads relating to religious subjects.

Bobert: I think you may have a skewed view of organized religion, but respect your right to believe as you do. I, myself, am not one that takes the Bible literally. It is a great religious book, but I think one has to take into account the difference in society at the time the Bible was written, and time as it is today. Example: there may well have been a flood that covered the earth, but in the days in which this account was written, few, if any people, knew what the "world" encompassed.

I did not intend to offend my liberal friends, and if I did, I apologize.

I, myself, attend what is probably one of the most liberal Christian churches in existence. I don't always agree with the social stances taken by my church, but it offers me the best religious experience I believe I can find in a church.
