Good post.

A couple of years ago I did a survey for the local council. I had the honour of knocking on the door of a Jehovah's Witness. Out off over a thousand homes they were one of the nicest couples I visited. They were what you imagine an ideal couple should be. Not one mention of Religion after the initial introduction.

What they thought of me, I don't want to know.

Sorry I dont know what you are implying here. Are you classing all non religious members in the same category as the one you are dispute with? There are probably more decent non religious members than there are decent religious members on this board.

No, not at all, Boab.

I am referring to the fact (and I'm sure you will agree) that there are more non-believing than believing members who wish to pick fights over religion.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

No I can't agree. You are sitting in your garden counting the arrows coming over the wall. I use them to hold up the runner beans.

Fair enough.

I've had my fill, frankly.

There are not that many.

There are more of the former than the latter, no matter how many of either there are, was the point.

Fixed, BTW.

Manny used to post the occasional piece of pro-religious standpoint designed to "stimulate debate" but other than that I don't think there have been many pro-religion posters on the board. There has been a spat or to between Rafi and Bawa which might count as religious (but more probably political).

J2 and JP will defend their religious standpoints against the dafter trolling, which has occurred from time to time. Billy is anti religion and so it would appear is Jimbo. However, most of the Board is fairly lighthearted in its atheism including Boab, as are those of other alternative points of view

Like JP I would say the numbers involved in this topic are small but would agree that the composition of the Board leans towards the anti as opposed the pro. This is not really surprising as many of the Board are European and we are secular rascals

Well I suppose that is at least fair.

It's not really fair on Mo

I'm suggesting that there are far fewer Atheist members keen to pick fights over religion than there may at first appear.

I'll concede the point, and gladly.

I think we can all be a little bit religious occassionally, especially when it suits us. Usually when it really hits the fan, or something major happens.

Biggles, i'm not anti-religious, i woulld be stupid and naive to say there isn't a god. I don't know.

But, i also feel people who would confirm there is a god are naive, and in some cases stupid.

I prefer to stand on the fence on issues, and throw my opinions both sides, desperately hoping one i hear will sway me one way or another.

I am a bit like that myself. The trouble with sitting on the fence, however, is that it is only the hot air that rises toward you.

I honestly cant understand people who have not a mind of their own. You can hear them stating; 'My Dad voted Right/Left all his life and so will I'. ' Born a 'religion' always a 'religion''.

P.S. in my course of testing out all the religions I have not got past the one with numerous Vestal Virgins on hand.
