Hi my friend Neil :-)
Looks my English is not helping me too well here. That is why I'm back and try to make myself clear!
First of all:
"I do not think I said anything even indicated I was disagreeing with remembering EVERY vet.
(I have NO clue why you would think I was.)
If my answer gave you this feeling than it means I didn't find the right way to respond to you because I never thought such a thing. Maybe I used a wrong word or in a wrong position in the sentence. Sorry for the inconvenience.
And second:
"You see Anamarie, YOU, and your fellow Christians are NOT a member of a minority whom Christians have been PERSECUTING for
nearly 2,000 years. "
I'm not sure I understand what you really meant here!
Why do you think I would feel like a minority... of anykind?
Than, you should know that I'm living, and I was educated in an excomunist country! As one of this kind, I won't say that I don't know what an Atheist is! For Comunists, there is no such as GOD! They only believe in Marx's ... (hm, not sure of this translation)... dialectical materialism, and they centered thier education on this bases!
With respect of me, believing in GOD or not is a personal matter, and I do not think that it should be a big deal or fuss of it! I will never ask or persue anyone because of this! It's freedom of choice and oppinion. And that comes to anyone who come to my forums. The only thing I ask everyone is to be polite and keep the boundarys of common sence. I thin this is not too much because anyone should have these things from their first 7 years :-) That is why I never posted these somewhere!
I do not mean this for you, I just wanted to share with you the way I think. And hope I didn't managed to offend you somehow because that wasn't my intention at all.
I hope now we will understand each others better, despite my sometimes, poor English. (This deppends sometimes on my mood or how tired I am)
You're welcome anytime to post your thoughts!
With friendship,
Anamaria
