You know as to a point you made earlier; that some folks think we are God haters and religion bashers here at Secular connections. First, I am a believer; I have stated that several times here (when appropriate) No one here has EVER bashed me! I am simple minded so I usually take a simple approach; God didn’t pour that first drink down my throat and he won't make me quit. That is MY responsibility - no one else’s- secondly I'm not trying to convert anyone I'm just content to be who I am. The way I see it (simple, remember) when we learn to accept and respect those who are different from us it's the first step to unity.
