Dude, with all due respect, I'll keep our conversations football-related. I think you're one of the more intelligent posters on this forum and I enjoy our back-and-forth when it comes to this team.
Religion isn't my cup of tea. Neither is politics or political-related conversation. I damn sure can't condemn anyone for having their own beliefs/ideologies and I'm not going to start now. My only hope for people is that their respect for each other's beliefs/boundaries is reciprocated. That's not always the case in the South (bible belt). Bigger cities in the south I would guess have a more open mind about things, but I live in a small town in East TN. Trust me when I say this...Religion is pushed hard here. When I go to Asheville NC to catch a concert or I go to Knoxville for a night out with my wife, those things don't happen to me. So I guess where you live in the bible belt matters. The harder people push religion along with "their interpretation of God" on me, the more I back away from things like social gatherings and churches. That doesn't mean that I'm not a spiritual person or don't believe in God. It also doesn't mean I'm going to hell despite what I've been told. Not everything and every experience is the same.
Take care, go Dolphins?
