I read that thread soon after it was posted and left after seeing the 1st reply. I saw this OP this morning and went back to skim through to your posts. You held your own very well. I especially liked this comment: "The inability to think in the abstract will seriously compromise understanding of complex ideas."

I don't "get" the vitriol either. I have never seen people of faith trying to impose their personal religious beliefs on other DUers so why display such an affront in Coolest Ranger's very heartfelt post? We can learn so much if we simply listen with respect, giving others a chance to express what is in their mind and heart.

I have never ventured into this group, but would like to read some of the posts here when I have time.
