I usally try to stay out of controversial subjects. Although I find them interesting, too often people do not respect other's points of views and it turns ugly. It is hard though, because I do find it interesting and the this is a great forum for the disccusions with some many people, from some many backgrounds able to share views. In order for that to happen though, it can not turn into a "who is right" & "who is wrong" situation. Regardless of whether someone is Christian, atheist, Muslim, Jewish, etc. They are not only entitled to their opinion, but should be respected for it and listened to. Everyone should be able to say what they like and everyone else should be open to what they say. They do not have to agree, but they should be aware there are views other then their own out there. Sometimes being open will make you question what you thought...and that is not bad. It is part of growing. Wether it brings you faith, or changes your faith, reaffirms what you belive or do not believe, it doesn't matter. Having the knowledge, thinking things through and making the decision for yourself does. Learning to accept everyone for what he or she belives is what is important.
