This is really, really, really getting on my nerves: "Would she have taken it if her parents hadn't forced Christianity upon her?" There is something quite vile about this sentence, this question. If your parents are Christian it is perfectly natural and normal that the parents would want their children to be Christians also. I grew up in a family that was a Christian family. My mother was the one mainly involved with the church. She taught Sunday School and went to church. My father would go to church when he had to (i.e. Easter and Christmas...usually). My brother and I went to Sunday School and to church. It was hardly "forced" upon us. Later in life I no longer went to church. I no longer attended church services but I never lost my belief in G-d. Now I am ready to find the church I want to attend and belong to and go again. Your comment which I have read repeatedly on this thread pretty much ad naseum "Would she have taken it if her parents hadn't forced Christianity upon her?" I find to be extremely offensive to Christian families. And I am sick and tired to the nth degree of so-called atheists trying to cram their disbelief and their godlessness down our throats all the while in an attempt to take away our freedom of religion. By the way, no where in the Constitution is the phrase "separation of Church and State." I did learn this morning that it IS in the constitution of the USSR. So what does that mean? I think it means that we are headed for communism where the state is the church and where the state sees itself as G-d. The times ahead will be interesting to say the least.

I'm sorry if my question upsets you, but IMO, it is a valid question, not vile.
