Well, so you said, very forcibly if I remember, but your agronomism was held with such tenacity that I considered you more on the atheistic pattern.

Michael, I agree with you, and when discussing religion with members of other belief systems, I usually conduct myself by asking questions about what they believe, and listening uncritically or comparing what they believe to what Christians believe. They are usually very congenial conversations.

The only time I've been threatened by a person of another religion was when I denied him Employment Insurance.

Roger
