General Religious discussion

Actually forget this post.  It's just not worth beating a dead horse.

The horse died around page three.

This thread is getting too cantankerous to keep open.

I'm sorry; most everyone here has been respectful and reasonable.  Mtbikemom, if you feel that it is more important to assert the superiority of your opinion than it is to respect the views of others, you should not be engaging in religious discussion here.  I believe you yourself have stated that you feel justified in insulting and offending others if it's part of preaching your perspective.  Consider this a warning if a similar thread should appear in the future: if you still have the same attitude, don't join in.

I apologize to all those who have been contributing respectfully, and who would have liked the thread to remain open.
