I gotta say, Tophat, That was extremely well put. I have also found the christians I associate with to be wonderful people, I do however choose my associations quite carefully. very rarely can I agree wholeheartedly with a post here, this is an exception and your intellect is to be commended. that said.....
I have found "religion" and faith to be very personal aspects of individual spiritual growth. Most of the debate occurs when we feel the need to "convert" others to an alternateive path, most unfortunate. Christian (generalized) failure is in the attempt to incorporate those who have grown beyond the need for "blind faith" and would rather be left to the devine for guidance, however that may be interpreted.
