How's this for a resolution?

OK!
I think that at this point, in order to avoid sounding like I'm harping unneccesarily on the subject, that I am going to stop bringing up issues of religion on this forum. I don't want the Christians to feel like they're being picked on, because after all--I reject ALL formal religious organizations equally. Unless something really outlandish or infuriating happens that I need to talk about, we'll just call the subject closed. If you've been following any of these maunderings, you know where I stand:
I am a Secular Agnostic/Humanist (or rather Furryist). ^0^
I think we should all treat this life like it's the only one we get, 'cause as far as we can ever really know--it is. We should treat each other with respect and tolerance. We should worry less about what our neighbor is doing and more about what we're doing. And if you feel that there is some kind of overall intelligence behind the scenes, assume it to be a good deal less petty and childish than our books of theology have made "it" out to be, and revere or ponder it accordingly.
That is my feeling about the whole thing, and now I will mercifully shut up about it.
*Hugs*

So, I just want to back off a bit. Besides, I've made my feelings known...said my piece.
But, thanks for being understanding!
the church hates it not cuase "it kills God(it doesnt)" it places the idea that the high Authority is overbearing, which *whispers* it is!
Off the subject. I was eating Skittles yesterday and it made me think of your avatar. "Taste the Rainbow". Is pooping rainbows the end result of eating Skittles?
When has man ever organized itself and been 100% completely trustworthy?
People mistake disagreement with insult and offense, say what you want, it's your journal.
I kid.... mostly.
But sir, you have made a step in the right direction, because even though I'm pretty sure you feel you are justified "I certainly think you are", you will step down in the effort to relieve tension on an already high blood pressure topic.
I applaud you, take care.
As for mocking Christianity itself, heh, that's simply a completely harmless use of the free will we're given. Getting pissy about it certainly isn't going to help anything at best.
