Dr Bob, I would have replied sooner, however i waited for evidence that anyone really complained about Dena's statment of faith.
As far as I am concerned I would welcome people who find such posts offensive to at least tell us why they are offended...what is stopping them declaring their point of view?.
In my opinion if you relaxed your "Please be Civil" response it may stimulate discussion and be of benefit of all concerned.
The golden rule is fine but there is more to life than that.
Im not encouraging raving religous extreamists to "come out of their dens" Im simply saying allow discussion amoung members.
Its a reality that if you surpress those individual desires in people those repressed desires emerge elsewhere, and if that happens that enviorment may not have a caring or supportive persons to help them.
Thankyou for the oppotunity to express myself.
