I'll try to stay out of this forum as much as I can and do not wish to discuss anything of a religious nature in the health forum. However, I will re-iterate that the Briscoe take was a clear shot to belittle or rather boost above those who believe in God over those who do not believe. Here again are his exact words:

>Life without a relationship to God is vacant no matter how rich or powerful or healthy one may be. <

My comment was not intended to strike back believers in God, and as I said it is good to have a variety of beliefs, no? Yes, I dis say that. My response was directed to the exclusivity of the statement itself, as it says in short, that because I do not believe in God that my life is vacant. There is no two ways that this can be taken. Truth of the matter is that in America the majority of people living here follow Judaic-Christian beliefs and that statistics bear out that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Not to mention anything about the numerous pedophile clergy who believe in God. So as you can see not all people who believe in God are so much better off than others. That is point. Let's leave it at that.

You are correct to say that this forum was set up for spiritual discussion. Please enjoy each other and respect even those who do not belive. I will keep my distance and will express my Consttitutional right, as David did, to speak my thoughts when directed and when necessary.


In peace, Roy
