This is a good discussion. It's also a discussion that touches on some very strong personal and individual beliefs which can take some posting across the guidelines in regards to "limiting the discussion of religious or political conversations/debates". While we allow discussion to a point on these topics, there is a limit to them.

That said, there is zero tolerance for posts which can be perceived as a personal attack of another member or flaming.

If you feel that your post might not limit the discussion of the above, don't hesitate to contact a moderator or administrator for thoughts on that.

Also, don't hesitate to PM with the more detailed responses.

Further, in discussions like this, there might be those that we disagree with STRONGLY. Don't hesitate to put another member on ignore (if temporarily) if you feel that their posting is bringing about very strong personal reactions.

If the entire subject causes a strong personal reaction, it might be best not to post until the reactions subside as the reactions felt might come across in posting and cause another to feel attacked/flamed.

I appreciate ALL members involved in this discussion, and request that you consider all of the above when posting from this point.

Best to all,

KD
