[QUOTE="zane, post: 74639, member: 540617"] I would agree. Beliefs and each persons faith is not something to mess with. They are rooted so deeply within the person, that arguing about them will accomplish nothing. However, if- and I mean [B]IF[/B] we can all "discuss" religion, beliefs, faith, disbeliefs, etc; in a mature mannor- I am sure that many alike would not be as offended, but rather find several very interesting issues that they may have never thought of. I personally am Christian. However, that will not stop me from giving respect and courtesy to Atheists, Jews, Muslims, or what have you. My philosiphy is simple- I will listen and discuss your beliefs without critisism, but you had better show me the same courtesy in discussing my beliefs as well. Thats not too difficult to ask. Otherwise, if one feels that it is too difficult to evolve everything into a holy war or flame fest; I have absolutely no use for them. Thats my take- Like it or not! :p -zane [/QUOTE]
