Other basic thoughts now that i've had a shower to wake me up:

* there's a right way and a wrong way to argue. Being high and mighty and I-couldn't-possibly-be-wrong isn't the right way. If the attitude was checked at the door, perhaps this could've been a better discussion.

* talking isht on another person's religion is wrong. I'm Catholic, but I'd probably feel the same way about this no matter what religions were involved.

* Last time I checked, we live in the United States of America. We're free to practice any religion we please. There's that whole freedom of religion thing..... perhaps you should read this little thing called the Bill of Rights. It's much shorter and much easier reading than some of these books y'all are Citing, I promise you that.

* WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S RIGHT OR WHO'S WRONG- we never will. Not until the day that we die will we know the truth. Read all the books you want, frame them however you want to fit your argument. No one's argument holds a bit of weight b/c this is one area that the human population just doesn't know, and isn't every going to.
