Agreed! I can still love my overly religious neighbor, but absolutely will NOT accept nor condone what they believe in.

Works both ways.

True. You are also not the one to judge, that's God's job, not yours. Live your life the way you want but know that your life is not the one everyone else wants to live.

Every religion, every belief known to mankind is out there for anyone to embrace or not embrace; Christian, non-Christian, Heathen, Satanism, Fairy Tale-ism, etc. It's not necessary to have any one of them shoved down the throats of anyone. Live and let live.

1) There are more Gods in the world than referenced in the Bible, more than 5,000 in recorded history

2) Believing in ANY God DOES NOT make it US law

3) The Bible is the word of God as written by man, making it subject to all the flaws of man

I just can't imagine.

I imagine the paychecks faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar beyond her talents/abilities ease her pain considerably
