> I respect you as an individual, even if we disagree. I respect your right to make that decision.

Agreed, and much respect is shared.

> I am not suggesting for a moment that a follower of another religion, an agnostic or an atheist cannot do kind acts or contribute to society.

Of course I agree here too. My apologies if it seemed as though I was implying otherwise. I have concerns when someone tries the make the case that one way is better than another; I don't see that here.

> I certainly don't want you or anyone to feel like I am cramming something down your throat. If I you have made you feel that way, please accept my apologies.

No apology needed. I don't, and never have taken, these kinds of discussions in an offensive kind of way. We're all entitled to our own decisions.
