Thank you for that, but from what I've read hell is not a "stop over" People who go there stay there and complain about the lack of drinks forever...

Let me make a last stab at trying to understand you. I don't want to be upset with you, and I don't want to walk away from the thread feeling hurt and offended. I certainly don't want you to be upset, hurt or offended.
The whole issue for me boils down to this: I don't understand how it's possible for every problem of the human race to be attributable to religion. That's why I use the Stalin example. He visited untold suffering on the Soviet nation, but I can't see how there's a religious link in there. If you can help me understand where you see the religious link in there, I think it would help me understand where you're coming from. My project isn't to beat you in an argument--it's to understand what it means to you to say all problems are the fault of religion. I can't see how that could be, and I'm asking you to help me understand what you mean when you say that.

Casual and FMF. Please just let it go.
While I have enjoyed both of your posts here and elsewhere I'm not sure you are going to be able to resolve this on this thread. I know religion is a very personal subject for most folks but please don't let this wonderful and thoughtful thread go the way of most RWED threads. If you feel the need to continue your discussion, perhaps you should try e-mail or IM.

It doesn't look like you are going to be able to resolve this on this thread and while I have enjoyed both of your posts here and elsewhere, now you just appear to be arguing with each other. I know religion is a very personal subject for most folks but please don't let this wonderful and thoughtful thread most RWED threads. If you feel the need to continue your discussion, perhaps you should try e-mail or IM.

I just want to understand. That's all--to understand. Because I think that understanding someone--even if I disagree with them--is the best way to remain civil even in the face of disagreement. FMF has truly wounded me deeply. And I want to understand where she's coming from so that that doesn't get carried out of this thread into the rest of FFF.net. Is that such a bad thing?

Of course, it's not a bad thing. That is why I suggested you could try and continue this discussion elsewhere. I get where you are coming from and I also understand FMFs view somewhat but it could take a while to get to the end of it and while I understand that you are not trying to argue, it can come across that way and turn people off of the thread. I don't mean to upset either of you further.
