A Quick Note...

I have gathered from some of the comments posted that I was not as explicit as I should have been about my wishes not to discuss religion in this blog. Politics is a contentious enough issue without involving religion which is why I don't wish to continue any more theological dialogue. I'll never be able to change anyone's mind about religion, that is a matter of faith and something I have no desire to do anyway. But I'm not going to reply to any religiously charged comments here because I don't want this forum to turn in that direction. If you desire to debate politics that is fine, I'll debate you until I'm blue in the face, but I don't think its my place to comment on anyone's religious views, so I'm not going to.
