[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 584107, member: 1550"] Suz, there is this unspoken rule here: "Don't talk about religion and politics" lol. Both can cause a lot of trouble. Most people are very good about not shoving either down the throat of a stranger. But every so often we do get mostly Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormans coming to our doors. I also had some very very very very very fundamentalist christians living next door to me in my last house a nd every time they saw me I had to pretend to be very busy and run to my car or else I'd have to hear a sermon. They were relentless and never got tired of preaching. But that doesn't happen too often. At any rate, I avoid people like that like the plague. Most people are very cool about their faith and don't overtalk about it to others. My son who left our family is a fundamentalist christian to the extreme and his church is almost cult-like. If you do not "believe" their way, you are not part of his family. The family of God. He thinks most Christians are heathens. Whatever. That's a big reason why he left our family. Before he left though every interaction with him was a preach. And you were not safe from his preaching even if you were a practicing Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, etc. because he didn't consider them real Christians. That's one reason why I really can't see us reconciling. Although I have respect for all faiths, I am not a Christian. To him that means all of us are hopeless! [/QUOTE]
