I took me six months on these forums just to figure that these forums gave me the chance to vent out some of my life-long frustration with religion.
Now I realize that what can at first be somewhat therapeutic can easily turn into a caustic environment. On occasion I still wrestle with it, as I have always been a little rough around the edges - even with my friends, the atheists/deists, but the realization in itself has aided me in practicing what Tiberius has aforementioned. Which is practicing restraint and ignoring the ignorant.
Good luck to all of you in finding your own unique balance.
