To Nancy & Norris:

I have been watching your posts -- very interesting and informative. It's great that you both attempt to be fair and use logic and facts without screaming and name-calling.

One thing I notice: both of you are careful to point out what's so great about your argument and what's so wrong with the other's. For instance, the selected quotes from the Qu'ran and Bible were chosen to make one look loving and benign and the other look vindictive and malevolent. Truly, "good" and "bad" could have been reversed just by chosing different selections from each text.

Here's a challenge to each of you: For one day, look for what is beautiful in the religion of the other and report that, and only that, to us: no excuses, no ifs, ands, or buts. And nothing about your own religion. Do you dare?
