@Setanta,
Ive a great deal of respect for your attitude. Tis a pity that religion has done so much to denegrate the value of such a life. I would hope to contribute to a future in which the simple humility of being a man among men is given the priority it deserves.
I have a brother whom has been christian for his entire adult life. He has become increasingly self rightious and judgmental over the years, to the point at which I no longer wish to have contact with him. When our relationship reached that point and, I informed him of this, his response was that was just fine with him, thats the difference between he and I, its not fine with me.
I try to have faith in a god, not a religious god. Or maybe I just like to hope that I will have a chance to see how it all works someday. I kinda like the idea of talking bass fishing with the guy who thought em up
Anyway, I never felt the need to force it on anyone else, that seems a bit weak to me.
