[Ogmios, to Alamo-Girl:] Then again, I have found you to be reasonable and very thought provoking, as well as intelligent in your responses, so your post is not at all surprising. Your openmindedness, as well as your religious convictions, and the way you put the 2 puzzles together to fit them both into your life is very encouraging. I'd like to second that, as well as say how much I appreciate her willingness to treat with respect those who hold differing opinions.
If the "departed" posters could have adopted similar outlooks, I believe they'd still be with us.
