GDR
There aren't many places I can go to discuss these things without someone either being bored to distraction or getting so angry they froth at the mouth.
I must say I can relate to this.If I start a discussion about such items with friends or family I quite often get hushed or ignored.It is not often in the course of a working day that I get to start a conversation along these lines.
Oddly,though,I often get a verbal joust going with the door-knocking preachers come to save me from satan
Most of them are clueless sheep but rarely you will find a person who has thought deeply about the issues{someone like jar} enough to even have opinions conflicting with his religion and these people I will actually invite in for coffee.Neither expects to sway the other but we both enjoy the stimulus of debate.
At EVC forum,i think, the chance to get a sampling of people from around the planet seperate from the artificial boundaries of nationality shows me that we have much more in common that I once thought.
More than anything I have come to regard the majority of you as friends{I know,I know get a REAL LIFE eh?} and I find I can share many things with you that I cannot find time for otherwise.
