    Not sure I agree with any of that.

    Dumbest thing people can argue about is religion. Politics are a close second.

    So, these two highly important topics should not be discussed?

    What should, then?

    So, can I tell that to the guys knocking on my door? They disagree with you too.

    The key word in my sentence was "argue", not "discuss". Big difference and folks would be wise to learn the difference in regards to both subjects.

    I was going to weigh in on this discussion but I changed my mind and deleted my post. Instead I'll quote a very wise man:

    Talking to people about religion and why they believe what they believe is a subject that will fascinate me till I die... And hopefully after that too!

    Arguing about it is dumb. I agree with BS.

    I've read so many books about the subject I'm pretty sure I could teach a pretty good class on it. For reals!

    I want to know how many times in 97 posts that Bucky was villified for his beliefs. I'm still trying to sort that one out.

    It's ALWAYS been zero. I've been accused of it in the past but have never, ever understood where the accusation came from. I think he has a vivid imagination. I'd never think of doing such a thing to ANYONE ... even Bucknut!

    Baptist is not the name I wear.

    Wasn't villified. Was told I'm dumb, and unwise, to discuss my beliefs.

    By the way, I do not agree that it's dumb to discuss the single most important subject in my life.

    And I do not see any difference in arguing, and discussing with those who disagree with me. Same same. It does seem to me that folks get way more bent out of shape on this than I do.

    However, I am typing this from hospital er.
