Michael, You wrote: >>It seems to me religion on balance has done many more wonderful things than negative things<< I couldn't disagree more. What about The Inquisition? The Crusades? Forcibly converting thousands of native people from their own religions to Christianity? Degrading homosexuals and other alternative lifestyles? Claiming AIDS as "god's punishment"? Abusing young boys and girls for years? Bombing abortion clinics? I don't see any of these as wonderful things! Granted, the church does a lot of charity work -- but all I see in that work is a hidden agenda to push Christianity on more people throughout the world. There are a few people out there in the world working through Christian means to do good things (i.e. Mother Teresa) but there are so many more out there pushing an agenda on people who don't want it. I have seen "Christians" cause too much pain to too many people for me to agree with your argument. That's why "go with god" bothers me. I'll get down off my soap box now too so someone else can have a turn. I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but I have some very strong feelings on this subject (I guess that's obvious, huh?) With an open mind, Liz
