Well, it's nice to know we can agree on some points, after my rejection of you
Most of the Christians I know are not trying to impose their religion on anyone, although they deserve respect for their beliefs, they are good people always ready to help.
But by your own admission, some people still need religion in their lives, and it is a force for good, as Rumples says, it is a good way of structuring your life, and family life, which is something I still believe in, would you see us go back to the caves, might not be so good for women.
You may be right in what you say, but I believe people should have the free choice whether they want religion in their lives.
Some people are looking for divinity in the universe which is not quite the same as religion. But if someone want to worship at the synagogue, they should be free to do so.
I don't know what happened all those years ago, that he(Jesus) was a wise and charismatic man is apparent., whether he was divine is a personal belief, AS far as the here and now are concerned, I have no desire to entice you or anyone else to prove anything to me.
With all due respect, I have no romantic interest in you or anyone else on CS at the moment, this doesn't mean I won't be friendly.
