No worries. In my belief system (although you must understand that since I joined this forum I've been tempted to say that "I know" (which I'd certainly say in a casual face to face conversation), but hey, that's faith for you), there's no heaven or hell, I love everything, there's no need to even convert as I don't even care what others believe or disbelieve (although it's always interesting to discuss it), and everyone has the right to teach anything, no matter what it is or who agrees or disagrees. Do I think you're ignorant? Only in the nicest sense, merely in that I think I'm right and I think you're wrong and that you don't consider hings that I consider but that's life and it's fine, I do the same (and let's be honest, many people here think I'm ignorant. And I am). For not accepting my conclusions you're certainly not ignorant / stupid. I admire atheists, but dissapointingly, and from experience, I find a lot of atheists difficult to engage with peacefully (they get so agitated), which was a huge shock the first time I experienced it. I was expecting to be respected more, even if just for thinking for myself and not blindly following a religion. If nothing else, we have that much in common and I believe on building on positives. I admit that my views are faith based, but I also think that that's valid. I'll read your post on page 9 at some point.
