I doon't resent your beliefs. You are entitled to believe in whatever you
wish, and I respect that, and that's why I also demand respect for my own
beliefs. What I do not appreciate in your words though is the use of the
word "laugh" which clearly shows that you are mocking (meaning showing lack
of respect toward) other people's religion. And the word "bashing" which is
a show of not only lak of respect, but also of violence and agressiveness...
which, in turn, means hatred. Now why would you hate religion so much that
you would go to the trouble of bashing and mocking it ? If you don't like it
- it is your right - then just don't bother about it.

Many of you say that Christians try to impose their beliefs on you, and
though that is not correct - as I've shown in a previous mail - the mere
fact of "bashing" is producing the same result : the illusion that you are
trying to force Christians out of their religion. Why don't you just take
care of your own beliefs and leave others alone with theirs, eh ?

>Nothing personal. Believe what you feel.

Yeah, sure, now you sound like you're respectful of us, but that's not how
you sounded in the rest of your mail... do they call you Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde ?

Anyway, I won't go any further into this, though there would still be a lot
to say in answer to Jerry's post, but this is nor the right place nor the
right time... So let's drop this thread already, as I though we had all
agreed to do ?
