Ok- I see that tempers and or sheer frustration are showing up here.
I would like to see this thread sit for a few days and let those who want to continue to participate in it have a breather.
A general reminder: If anyone feels angry at other members or their posts, the best solution is to step away and take a break before you consider posting again. Pm your concerns to the other person if needs be.
Chewie, if you are feeling 'fed up' it may be a good idea for you to just ignore such posts for a while. No sense letting them get you more worked up, right?
Yorick, I realize all to well you are fired up and full of zest for your topic but it may be a bit overpowering for some of the people here and I'd like to ask you to ease up just a little bit. Take a break, please and then come back and re-read some of what has been posted, before you post again on this thread.
In general, Religion is one of those topics that can raise people's ire faster than any other I know, possibly including politics.
If we want to keep it open as a potential discussion issue on IW, we need to keep the discussion civil and respectful. When people start feeling irritable and angry or frustrated with anyone else or the topic at large, it's time to take a break.
