I apologize if I put words in your mouth. In other posts in these threads you've made comments like "I give you five years" or "someday, raytri, when you least expect it", which I've taken as implying that you think I will find God before too long.

I know you're kind of hesitant to discuss religion, and I don't wish to increase that hesitancy. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Naw, I don't mind you putting words in my mouth. Obviously, you can take those words to mean different things. The five years thing is how long I think it will take for you to convert to conservatism (it may take longer for you to realize it and even longer for you to admit it.). The second quote is a reminder that we are at war and I haven't forgotten that I owe you big time.

As for religion, I will discuss it with anyone who shows respect and an open mind. I will not discuss it with people who have no control over their own hate. You don't fall into that category. I very much agree with sam here...

“Making a positive assertion about something for which you have no positive knowledge” is a wonderful definition for “faith” and it is the only way you will ever receive proof that God exists.
"Proof there is, but see it not you do." I'm feeling kinda Yoda today - I reckon I should avoid that in the future.
