I don't care what color you are. I don't care what your nationality is. I don't even mind your choice of music. Perhaps it is because I know that you aren't going to attempt to change me on any of the above...

But folks of any religious persuasion, have a need for me to see it their way, even though I have no need for them to see it mine. They tend to feel it is for my own good. They are just trying to enlighten me.

I like the folks that can tell me why they believe what they do, without trashing another belief in the process. I've found that type of folk harder to come by, in recent years. And for sure I want someone who is MORE then their religious belief.

I think for me, religion is what abortion and politics are for others. It's that one item I am willing to run/NOT WALK away from..

What topics make you cringe... besides butter refrigeration?
may allah be with you
