Instead of telling us what you'be been preached, discuss your own ideas of what is valuable about life.

I like to think of it as the others disagreeing with the religious but...

So you don't want me discussing my beliefs, and you're assuming that I've just been fed some kind of religion and have just taken it at face value. AND, you somehow think that I'm shallow enough not to let my faith affect my actual values. Wow. I find it funny how you don't want me expressing my values and beliefs, yet you're now bossing me around and telling me what's "wrong."

But it's all right. I was in the mood for a good laugh. You know, we're all expressing our opinions and beliefs here, so if an opinion or two has do deal with religion I suggest you don't viciously attack it.[/i]
