I'm glad we have the religious diversity here on pettalk but I am sick and tired of posts (not just your's Lalania, there are many others) that turn into religious debates.

Posts with such a strong title are sure to raise hackles on each side. But knowing such, I'm not certain why athiests post and expect not to get a word or so of Christian advice... and on the flip side, I'm not sure why the Christians post and expect not to get an "un-religious" or "differing religious" point of view.

I think religion is one of those topics that is hard to discuss in a grown up manner. As we have proven, time and time again people are passionate in what they belive (thank goodness for that) and there are going to be deferences of opinion (thank goodness for that!) but often the discussion takes a brupt turn into name calling, slander... you name it. And that's not a bit constructive.

Lalania, I'm sorry to have chosen your post to rant in. Nothing personal, just bottled up feelings.
