Ah but that is where you are wrong...I'm fine if
Christians practice their faith and live their lives as their faith
dictates. The problem I have is when they demand that I live my
life a THEIR faith dictates. See the difference..it is key here. I do
not believe as you believe about where the soul comes into play
or where life come into play. So who is right? In my world you
can believe and follow the tenants of your beliefs as can others
but I can also believe and follow my own as well...see?

Take embryonic stem cell research and possible benefits of said.
If they are found Christians can choose not too partake of them
based on their beliefs but the rest of us can choose to partake of
the benefits if found..simple and fair to my way of thinking. I
have no problem with people who do not think as I do...it's when
their thoughts and beliefs and forced upon me that I tend to
have problems. It's when their beliefs ,and their faith become
law and that law is thrust upon me. It's when their holy text
become not just belieft by doctrine and law..despite the fact that
is is faith and nothing that can be proven to be fact.

Once again and hopefully for the last time I don't really care
what you believe nor do I care the way you choose to live. Just
as long as I do not have to share in your choices or am forced to
live by the tenants of your beliefs then I am fine with you and
yours.
