Well, it's true that I do not belong to any organized religion, I am a Protestant. But that does not mean that I cannot appreciate prayer and a bit of guidance from time to time or that I cannot be thankful for all of God's blessings. And I definitely have a lot of respect for those who are involved in their faiths whether it's much more than my own or even less. And I can guarantee you that you will not find me adorning any cross now or at anytime in the future. All I was trying to do was set the record straight in case there was any doubt about our future intent regarding moderation of the forum. My statement was meant probably more for those who may have read your statement to me, rather than for yourself. Lots of people read these threads. Sorry if I sounded like I was coming down on you personally. Thanks, Jim

Handsomely put. I imagine it's not much fun to stand in the middle of a "go on and take your best shot at me" thread.

Probably a lot like your family, ours is very Christian but doesn't go to church. A professor at Bradley University just published a very good book entitled Spiritual But Not Religious, addressing the more-and-more-common "unchurched" Christian. The starting point is that 90% identify themselves as Christian but only 50% go to church.
