Just an opinion. Now, are you attempting to call my opinions a religious belief? (I don't read the religious groups) I figure that religion is based on a set of beliefs that the believer holds true above all else. This isn't the case with the above: I believe the above to be true. I would be more than happy to be proven wrong. If it is not, then *prove* it to me. If you disagree with my opinion, state why that is so. But by trying to ridicule it (comparing my beliefs to a religion! Harumpf!) aren't you guilty of what you accuse me of? >How tolerant we all are of others' beliefs!
