I was the first one to respond on this original post. Boy, has it gotten off track since then. I agree that a lot of this discussion could be reserved for email and private messages. If we could discuss it calmly, then it might even have a place here in the General Section of Pet Talk. Our religious beliefs, whatever they are, make us what we are, and who we are. And our love for our pets is a common thread, regardless of our religious or political beliefs.
But Pet Talk isn't here for criticism or cursing (this is the part that has upset and disappointed me the most), or backstabbing or pointing fingers. We have a wide range of ages and nationalities represented here. I would never let my 11 year old daughter join or read even Pet Talk on her own because of the chance that she would see a thread like this one.And there is so much good here, that it is a shame I can't. I stand firmly in my faith, and I'll gladly discuss it privately or publicly with anyone who is willing to listen. But the anger that is coming from both sides of this discussion are just too much. I'm going to take my own advice, and avoid it from now on. I hope everyone else will too.
My prayer is that we can find topics of interest that we can all participate in, without fighting. This is my "getaway" place, where I come for enjoyment. This thread has become more tense than most of my real life situations.
