Glad you said something Bridget, I felt the same thing. Although Carol is just
portraying this forum as a good one and not a sleezy chat forum, many people shy
away from reliegous things whether they are or not and for sure atheists would
not feel comfortable and they are just as important as the next in my book. I'm
not offended by either of you because I always look at where a person is coming
from, one just has to take a little time and think of how a sentence may effect
others. I certainly have noticed alot of reliegous talk on here and I am
reliegous myself, but I have always had the understanding that all people are
welcome here, and it has always been displayed in a way that I felt was
comfortable for everyone. It is a little to heavy on the reliegion to state that
this is a christian forum if you want my opinion. I definately have no intention
of offending you Carol but I totally agree with Bridget on this one......Your
friend too, Beav
