Deep Question.

Duck 'n' cover, Matt; you're probably about to get a bunch of well-intended but misguided and narrowminded preaching and proselytising. They're welcome to their religious beliefs, and they're welcome to consider those beliefs true, but they are not entitled to enforce their beliefs on others. Fact is, millions and millions of people are good without god—and we are every bit as welcome to hold our beliefs as the religious are to hold theirs.
Mmm... Duck and cover indeed. I respect others beliefs and such, but if they push them on me, I will tell them I am not interested in it and leave it all at that. Now if they can't leave it at that, I will turn VERY very ugly, I have dealt with folks that can't let me remain faithless. I know how to handle them now, it's as simple as telling them about the party I'll throw when I'm in hell and then inviting them. 8)
