10. I read a lot more than I post when it comes to religious debate.

I agree with you about the minds being changed. And yes, we can agree to disagree. But that ends when anyone advocates for any church/state relationship, or doesn't fight against it. I do not care if anyone has religious beliefs, and they are free to believe in whatever they want, but they are not free to impose it on people who do not want to participate.

And speaking of conversion experiences, have you ever been to a real, down-home, tent revival? I have, and you are right about that emotional ecstasy. Whew.
