Indeed. I'm not particularly religious, but I have great respect for those with religious convictions and the good they bring to others. I have had family and co-workers offer up prayers that my wife and I would become parents, that in my recent layoff I'd come through ok. Those comments still warmed me and comforted me regardless of my stance on religion. I understood the meaning behind their prayers and thankful that people thought enough of me to offer them. Being religious or not religious means we still have to be tolerant of each other's view and accepting of them too. There are bigger things worth worrying about.

It is great to have debate and see that there are those taking this offline to PM's.

Nice comment...

I only wish those who give everything to uphold the first amendment would do the same with the second...it's amazing how many people in this country selectively uphold what they're interested in...meanwhile, the entire Constitution needs to be followed equally.

No one needs to keep anything to 'there self'....... Don't know about you, but I live in AMERICA, where any legal citizen is entitled to hold any opinion about anything that he or she chooses......and they are not required to keep it to there self....

Besides, it sounded more like a philosophical question, not questioning the existence of the egg so much as wondering which came first, it or the chicken.......

Agree...mostly...first of all, it is 'themselves', not 'there self' to both of you...second, whether you believe in G-d, organized religion, or you don't, we're all entitled to our beliefs and that's what makes this country great. The founding fathers built this country with religion in mind...although we have a separation of church and state, many laws come from the tenets of JudeoChristian law...it was a guiding light to the foundation of this great country. Just look at other parts of the world and see what a mess they have. My point is that as long as religion or lack of religion leads to respect and care for fellow man, and doesn't corrupt the mind to kill all those who differ, we should all be fine. Unfortunately, there are too many of the latter.

Yes! We are doing a second amendment march in Hartford on 4/2. And yes, I agree w/ you about the Constitution being followed equally. If it was followed to begin with, Congress wouldn't be wasting tax payer dollars and time inventing new processes and laws that just add more bureaucracy to everyday life! I feel like I'm being suffocated.

That sounds like a pretty good hit. Hopefully they will be able to make it as good as new for you. I am assuming at this point there was no frame damage done, which would be a very good thing as well.

Best of luck.

Totally with ya...go by the Constitution and all is well...try to start making up your own stuff as you go along and we end up losing everything this country was built on.

Have fun with the march in April...I won't be there, but I'm there with you in spirit. May all the lines of the Constitution be followed in their entirety...enough with the corrosion of the document, on both sides of the political spectrum!

Glad your ok it could of been a lot worse.
we need to keep these type of comments off here no one needs to hear them.
86% of people be leave in god 14% do not that 14% needs to keep it to there self.

That's the great thing about America......anyone is free to believe whatever they want to. Without getting into what I believe in, I think the person trying to PUSH their beliefs is in the wrong. You have to respect that freedom.

..back to the thread, damn man, that sucks and Im glad you are okay.

:agree: Though, I have to admit, Spyder Man got me wondering. I am not sure which religion believes that. I cannot recall any of the holy texts, Jesus, Mohammad or Buddha ever saying anything like that.
