I'm not one to force anyone else to believe as I do. I don't have a need for control like the evangelicals all seem to have. To me, when someone tries to force religion on someone else - ANY religion - the very first reaction is to resist. Why wouldn't it be?

In my thinking, we are each on our own path and must each find our own way. That's the journey; that's life. Each person's idea of what their path should be is something that should be encouraged and respected as long as it doesn't diminish or harm someone else.
