((((griffe)))) You are right--it's a shame that something as wonderful as our religious beliefs can cause such huge rifts. It's not just your friends, griffe, wars have been fought over religious beliefs for thousands and thousands of years, unfortunately. I think part of the reason is people are so passionate about it that it becomes "obvious" to them that they are right and how can you not see it. Stand by your beliefs, griffe, and you may just have to agree to disagree.
