But it's ok.

You know I sometimes go to the Atheist Threads and I try to behave myself. I just ask for a bit of respect.

You do you. I do me kind of thing and mostly you guys do.


But you guys don't want us preaching at you over there and over here just constantly dropping bombs on us isn't helpful.


I have had great conversations with Pagans, Druids, Wiccans even one actual Satanic Warlock. I travel in groups that don't discriminate against someone's religious or non-religious stance. Some I met at work too.

People are people and I love the variety I find on DU.

But sometimes, I would like to talk to people about my faith without having to defend every single point.


I am capable of defending my positions though. When DU got bonked, I lost my record of old posts. I was here in the GW years.
