I appreciate the very thoughtful responses here in this discussion.

I do feel the need to place a reminder that, while I recognize it might be very difficult to do, the discussion of religion within this topic must remain limited (i.e. specific religious belief references).

There is one reason, and one reason only, that certain topics need to be limited on the public forum. That reason is that such topics are very dear to us, often becoming extremely passionate and often heated.

I appreciate the cooperation with this.
