over the years I have actually had quite a bit of fun debating the religion issue. But then again, I was on a debate team in HS and college - so it's kind of in my system, LOL!
I've stated on here in the past (but we have so many new people) - our regular "gang" of folk we hang out with consist of us (baptist), a reform Jewish couple, a Catholic couple, and an Atheist married to a - well she calls herself a "naturalist"- I guess thst falls into the pagan category.
So you can imagine some of the dinner conversations thst get going!
This is why I really enjoy having thoughtful conversations with people of other religions. When someone takes the time and energy to think about why they believe what they do, it really makes for some fascinating insight, and even productive conversation.
But I clam up when someone's answer is "because it says so in XYZ..."
