My point was why can't everyone agree to disagree, and leave it at that? Don't get me wrong. I've learned a lot from all of you, both sides of the coin, in an area where I am basically ignorant. I think the intelligence of people on this board is unbelieveable, as far as politics goes, and respected very much so by myself. That is why I have not bothered to post, just read, and learn. I've read almost all of the links posted, and watched all 3 debates, kept up with the news, and came up with my own opinions. I voted for the first time this year, and my vote went to Kerry.

However, my intention was to state that when religion and politics are discussed, no one side is right or wrong, no one is going to win the arguement, feelings are going to get hurt, and people are going to get pissed off. I'm now going to crawl back into the hole I probably should have never crawled out of.

Some of us are may appear to be fighting when we really aren't. I think I can safely say that in the case of Strandie, Dissention and myself. In fact, there are times when I think we relish arguing with each other.
That said, I wasn't referring to you with my comments but thank you for your well thought out post.
