OTOH, to those who want to use this forum to argue religion, I have no time or interest in pursuing a yelling match.

(How about a whispering discussion, then? Or is it that in a world where we are barraged by peddlers of every known product in spammed e-mail & texts, radio, tv & internet commercials, theater "trailers" & other pre-movie ads, billboards & yardsigns, ONLY "religion" is seemingly accorded "yelling" status? Hmmm...Quite a strange and de-contextualized notion...And it seemingly unveils your inherent prejudice vs. all things "religious"...Well, hey, it keeps it nice & tidy so that you don't have to address "religious" things for you, anyway)

I believe you may have misunderstood my intent when I used the word “yelling”. I don’t like to be yelled at by anyone, including “spammed e-mail & texts, radio, tv & internet commercials, theater ‘trailers’ and other pre-movie ads, billboards, & yard signs”. I hit the mute button on my TV remote on a regular basis, and when loud commercials come on my car radio, I quickly change stations. My reference to religion in this context was that yelling seemed to be the mode at least one poster enjoys using when trying to argue me into denouncing my religion. As a regular attendee of Sunday services, I have absolutely no problem discussing the topic. It was the mode I was objecting to.
