Well, it's important to keep in mind that for many religious people, sharing your beliefs and trying to bring others into the fold is an important part of the faith. We recently had a discussion about this in a bible study I am doing, that you really cannot be a good Christian if you just keep your faith to yourself. However, I do think there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it...I certainly don't try to be an in-your-face "you're going to hell because you don't believe" kind of person...but if someone is interested in why I am Christian and what that means to me and the changes it has brought to my life, I am always open and willing to talk about it. >I just don't agree with the way that it was done, >blatantly making poking fun at those that believe in what they believe >in on camera. Yeah, that kind of thing I don't know is really necessary, but he is a comedian after all, so hardly unexpected. I think too many religious people get easily offended at things...personally I always enjoy reading or hearing opposing points of view on such topics...if one's faith can't stand up to scrutiny or criticism, it's hardly a true faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289969 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
