I know.

I understand what you mean, but I don't agree, I think anyone can go back, if they want to. I wouldn't go back to Catholicism, but I would go back to God.

If I read you correctly you seem to be asking that your beliefs be given some respect.
Well I'm sorry but I cant do that. I can respect you as a person but I have zero respect for your beliefs, (while maintaining your right to have them).
But dont feel picked, on I have an equal amount of disrespect for all religions organised or not.
Which has led to some lively debates in my house as my wife is a spiritualist (sigh).
Thanks Down, I don't feel picked on when I get responses where people don't feel they need to defend themselves, because they understand that it's not my intention to attack.

Rhythm, should I just leave?
I can only speak for myself, but I've been quite gentle and I've held back many things I could of said. You really think any thing that has been posted in this thread is insulting? You really have seen nothing.
Thanks for holding back. What made you decide to do that?
