Sorry if my English comprehension is poor. Quite understandably, I am an Asian. I did my best to express my belief, and not to get to the level of making it personal.

It's a chicken and egg discussion Tore et al. I can state the same thought against you but it's a waste of time. I think that, the best way for us is to agree that we disagree on the issue of belief / religion views / etc. whatever you call it. Stay with your belief and I will stay with mine. Peace.

CHARISMA simply means: "Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are in making them feel good about you."
