You mean there is no reader's digest version? Joke, just a joke.
As for discussing with others, you might give me some advice in that area. As you probably realize, I do not personally believe in anything supernatural. I would not say I have a firm position on all of the issues that surround religion, but in general I can't honestly say I believe in any form of diesm. This puts me in an awkward spot in some of the discussions on JCW and other people's journals. I often feel that I have insulted someone by stating my view. Sometimes, I admit I get a bit agitated and overstep but even when I am dispassionate, I think I may be insulting people. For religious people, it seems obvious that religion is a very important and sensitive topic. My view implies a direct assult on the foundation of people's most dearly held beliefs. I'm not sure how to stay true to my view of the world and converse without causing needless injury.
