Thanx Taltarzac,

By the way I am a Quaker, but then again you knew that Tal lol

I for one am for lots of discussion about varied topics. "A mind is like a parachute, it only works when open" Author Unknown, (by me at least lol)

If you don't like the program....change the channel....all it takes is a single click.

I also enjoy stimulating discussions on philosophy, metaphysics, contemporary organized religions and non-organized belief systems, mysticism, agnostic or atheistic arguments, ancient religions.....heck, you name it. But this forum has not evolved to that level....but I'm hoping. Those with closed minds are usually uninformed or worse...misinformed.

Good idea posting the poll Taltarzac. :bigthumbsup:

I clicked on this "Religion" topic because I was interested in "What religions are people in the Villages." It turns out that the sample is too small to really tell for sure, except that most are probably Catholic and Protestant. Gee, a cross-section of America! ;D
