And I personally think atheists can have a similar focus.

I can't debate you any more tonight my friend. You are too much like me. We might be able to find things to argue about regarding minor details, but frankly, from everything you have said tonight we are ideological twins.

Goodnight, and keep fighting the good fight.

Heh. SusanCalvin Mar 2016 #26

Well, if you compared ANYONE's Christianity to what they do every day... MrMickeysMom Mar 2016 #28
