Tryin, you couldn't have said it better....Down is one of the best friends I have encountered here. Caring, loving, kind, sensitive, intelligent, considerate, respectful, are just a few of the wonderful traits he has. I believe that everyone has the right to believe what they believe & it doesn't matter what that is, but how we relate to them.

I have learned over my 52 yrs of living not to get offended by people. I may not agree & feel the need to express my opinion too, but in my nieve mind because I don't get offended, I don't always see why others get offended at the littlest thing. I grew up to believe live & let live even though it wasn't how my family saw things. When I hear or read things that I don't believe, I realize that it is just the way that person believes & in doing that, it doesn't bother me because the person is entitled to believe the way he/she does.

It seems to be such a simple concept....I just don't understand how people can have a problem with it.
