Did this surprise you, Mercuryrising?
It wasn't like my birthday or something.

I sometimes contemplate what brought me here. Why am I reading such and such thread? Why did I stop out of a long string of posts and look into this one? Why did I start this one or respond to that?

Well, without getting too "out there", it brought me in contact with people like you. It gave a platform for people to discuss a controversial subject that we often can't have a real dialogue about. I mean if we were sitting on a bus and I said to you, "What's your beef with Christianity?" You would probably go sit somewhere else. We're so polite. We don't want to offend each other... but that's exactly how mis-conceptions and prejudice are formed.

Don't you think so?

BTW, are you Australian, British? It's just the use of 'mate' in your other post.
