Regarding christianity....

[Dorian]

Damn guys, take is easy! Everyone has a right to there opinion (obviously).  Equilly obvious is the fact that no two people are going to ever agree on most anything.  No one grows up in a vacuum, they are instead the culmination of their experiences, direct and indirect.  A culmination of thought and feeling brought on through the interaction with yourself, things, people and peoples ideas. Even in the most orthodox of religions rules blur and meanings fade in and out of intensity secretly between its followers no matter how devout.  No one lives in true isolation, especially in a "civilized" world.  Organized religion as well as other ideas heavily influence how you see your world and yourself.  What does experience really mean anyway, and what is the real value of meaning when they both pass through the filters of Subjective consciousness.  
   All we can do is wish for the other person a fatefull and happy life no matter how dogmatic they may appear or self-rightous they may come-off.  Unless you've been there, been them, beside them their whole life you never really understand how a person feels or what they're really getting at emotionally.
   To many times I'm afraid in the history of man great suffering has occurred, misunderstandings arisen, wars faught won and lost, and the whole time everyone is on the same page but language fails to illustrate feeling quickly enough and impatience and frustration take hold.  Too many letters on a page and it turns black.

duelly noted, well stated, and understood.
Nobody here besides a few exceptions truly get out of hand in regards to topic discussion, but as expected, with subjects of deep review, comes heated and passionate conversation and debate.

We dont come here to flame each other nor even put down others or their ideas and opinions, though sometimes things have been known to get out of hand. But there are people and those even in the middle of said conversion, whom help diffuse whatever situation has surfaced.

Sadly thus is the curse of humankind, but it also is an attribute that reveals great beauty and potential within each of us. Something that should be treasured and sought after to which in to better ourselves.
Without this cause of flaw, we would only nod to each other in acknowledgement and that would be that.

no fun in having all the answers....
