Dale, you are the real thing. There is a reason I recognize that, and I will not get into it here.

Unfortunately, this discussion has fallen into the subject of religion. It is inevitable that when a person is tested and their opinions and values are put to judgement, the source behind their choices will come into question.

In classical debate there are certain lines that are not crossed in order to keep subject matter relevan to the original discussion, and that line has been crossed here. NEVER bag on the religious beliefs of another, especially if there is such an expansive amount of resources available as with fundamental Christianity.

Mark my words, if this arguement continues in this vain, there will be no point in which Dale will say "It's just my opinion-- deal with it."
Real or not, he's got a couple thousand years of history to back up his belief system.

As a quick disclaimer, I am not a Christian, nor am I a Wiccan. I'm J-ust A-nother F-rickin' O-bserver, and I'm glad I didn't step off the same ledge that TT just did.

Once again, I opt to respect the choices of others when considering their religious beliefs. I see no fence to straddle, just more human beings trying to discover a real reason for being here.

By the way, that was an EXCELLENT delivery Dale. LOL.

I hope we can learn as much about the Wiccan religion now-- but I doubt she will attempt to debate the issue any further.
