Then you are simply not someone I would associate with. Because I would feel the same way about the way guys often go on about sports or cars or any number of things I don't particularly care about either. But if it's someone I am friends with or find interesting, I understand it's their passion and enjoy their enthusiasm for discussing it, even if it's not of great interest to me. And I may even figure out why they find it interesting...and that's how I've gotten into watching sports I would have considered boring, or TV shows I never would have watched, etc. >But if I barely know you, I don't want to even hear about your mother in >law, let alone your faith. Well if I barely know someone, I hardly am going to talk about the weather, let alone more important things. But someone that wants to be any part of my life at all has to be respectful of my beliefs and my talking about it from time to time, whether they share them or not. I've had many atheist/agnostic friends and we have great discussions, and agree to disagree. I simply would not care to be around someone that puts rules and limits on what I'm allowed to talk about. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:290070 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
