Well guys, I have gotten half way through page 20 replying to all your posts. It is past 3am where I live and I must go to bed at this point. My husband has to be up early for work tomorrow, and I always like to see him off in the morning.
Thank you all for taking the time to discuss this with me. I must admit it didn't go so much in the direction I intended lol. I wanted to hear more about your views and why you believe the things you do. Some of you responded with such, but many others just decided to focus on me rather than on my question. So I had a lot of people interrogating me on my beliefs. Even though this is not what I intended, I still very much enjoyed talking to you about my faith and my motivations. I am sorry if I came off as "preachy" at any time. Kind of hard not to do when I'm being asked about my faith!
I tried to answer everyone's posts, but I am sorry for those of you who I missed. I want you all to know I respect you all, even in all our differences.
I hope everyone has a great night, and thanks again for taking the time to talk to me and make me feel welcomed to the forum!

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
