Hi Howard,

I cannot begin to verbalize the respect I have for you. You have stated your position on faith extremely well and you have done a great job of not falling for the "bait" others have set out in an effort to ridicule you.

This thread started with Perry posting something about a fringe religious group and then calling them idiots for following their faith. You have never resorted to name calling and you have steadfastly held to your beliefs. I really admire that.

I think intelligent discussion is certainly welcome, even on matters of faith. But when the discussion turns to name calling and denigration of ones intellect simply because of their faith, I think that is reprehensible behavior.

Hang in there, I wish I had the fortitude you have displayed.

Thanks,

Ken
