. I also object to people (such as SR) denigrating believers because he hasn't yet had the same personal experience of a relationship with God that others have had. Religious belief is a ticklish subject. No matter what one believes or doesn't believe, it's really hard to convey that to others without appearing to denigrate their beliefs. After all, we wouldn't believe what we believe if we didn't think we were right. I, for one, think it's really important for society that people of different beliefs be able to discuss them even though that can be uncomfortable. If you and I and SR can't do that, who can? I think SR does a good job of getting his point across on this subject as he does on others. You say you respect his posts on other subjects, that he is insightful and considerate. I find him consistently insightful and considerate, making his points clearly and in a straight-forward way without skewering or piling on, but then his posts on religious belief don't hit me close to home as they do you so I'm probably less sensitive to the sting. There are too many posters around here just taking pot shots. SR doesn't do that so you might want to try looking at his posts as a glass half full. Karen
