I think that this is one of the most unbelievable threads I've ever seen. My friends who participated...A Buddhist (Taike), an Atheist (Chas),and a devout Christian (Rory) come from vastly different orientations, all making their points during one of the most potentially volatile discussions ever, here; all in an intelligent, articulate manner, with no resulting hard feelings or animosity, in spite of some really fundamental differences in basic beliefs.

Then, add the well reasoned, questioning, completely honest and frank responses of Bill, a guy I'm respecting more as time goes on for his thoughtful, rational thinking process.

This has been a delight to observe.

Thanks, GENTLEMEN!
