Re: New Social Group

Well I'm not going to join your group, Enignaman, because I don't have any religion but I'm not going to say you're wrong, dangerous, subversive or any other of the epithets that have been applied to you so far.

I grew up in a branch of Christianity that was, at the time, often mistrusted, mocked and disliked - Roman Catholicism. My mother was Catholic, which is why I was, but my dad was agnostic. He taught me to despise intolerance, religious and other, and that has stayed with me, unlike the Catholic Faith. I may not share your beliefs but I defend your right to hold them.

Your faith doesn't, as far as I can see, promote violence or harm to your fellow-men. You don't try to convert the world to your viewpoint and you don't seem be haranguing unbelievers. As long as it stays like that, if it makes you happy, I'm glad for you.
