Great post.
I find that on this board there are many non-believers who find it absolutely threatening to their existance when someone else states their beliefs in true fashion with bold-faced type, and frankly I'm not at all sure why.
To my way of thinking, weather you believe or don't believe, if you're secure in what you believe then nothing anyone else says will be able to shake you up or get you riled.
