Yes it is. That's why religion and politics are two subjects I try to avoid with friends!!

You are wise! I can tell you what sharing information and reading books has done for me through the years with my friend - it has given me an appreciation of what goes through his mind, along with his beliefs and why he believes what he does regarding religion. It has done the same for him, also, from my standpoint. We are entitled to our own thoughts and opinions after all.

I figure, we have both read the bible and view it in two completely different ways probably based on the way we were raised, it is just safer with some to stay off the topics. Because honestly not much she can say will help me understand her thinking.

Yeah someone convinced me to read it (I am agnostic) and it changed nothing at all for me except reinforced my non belief due to it's silliness.
