Beth, did I say ANYTHING about or against Down?? No. I didn't attack or flame anyone so I don't understand why you feel you need to come to Down's defense.

I PURPOSELY never once said anything about his avatar to him or to the mods or to Doc John. Down has the same right to express his religious beliefs as I do. When I first saw the avatar in question I thought it may be a personal affront but I CHOSE to not accept it. After all, he doesn't like angels, either. Some are cute, but they aren't up my alley, either.

Just relax, Beth. I'm not "fighting" or passing judgement on anyone. The only thing I addressed was the guidelines to not discuss religion or politics.
