Quote:The only reason I felt that way, is because of my faith. If I had no faith, and no perceived feeling of repercussion from my God...I don't know?

Quote:E This would be an important point, except for the fact that i did not just take the post and run back here to bash the believer. I also responded on the original thread, but thought that the overall message deserved wider discussion.
