I check it several times a week for updates. Second, as one of your "religious friends", I will respect your request "they in turn leave me alone" so don't think I'm trying to convert you to anything. I don't usually post comments on blogs but wanted to leave one this time. It's just my $.02. I agree that religion poisons everything. The Bible it says that God created man so He would have someone to fellowship with. Since I believe that statement, the practice of my faith is not about religion but about having a relationship. I also think Satan (yeah, old Scratch himself, I believe he exists too) loves nothing more than to take something good, created by God, and twist it to evil- religion being the main one. Although, sex comes in a close second. There's no telling what's the overall percent of murder and pain committed in all of history in pursuit of those two are, but I'm sure it's pretty high. Anyway, just a couple of thoughts I had. I'll leave you alone but I'll pray that God doesn't. ;) First off, love your site. I check it several times a week for updates.
