for people to see that is to be of a truly minority belief system or be an atheist. I was raised in a Christian fundamentalist home and it was drummed into me that we were being oppressed and attacked from all sides. After leaving that religion, I was an atheist for a while and it was then that I realized that the world was not full of the "godless" hell-bent (no pun intended) on getting rid of all religion-- in fact, non-Christians were far in the minority. Totally opened my eyes.

I do think that sometimes the discussion around here gets heated in regards to religion. I wish we could be calmer about it, because there are topics that I really think we all need to discuss. I know I would love to discuss some things with more moderate to liberal Christians, but I'm afraid to bring it up!
