I may not agree with what other people believe, but it doesn't mean I will attack them or tell them they are wrong. Regardless of how their beliefs came to place, my post was about respect.

It's like saying that since it was the nephalin that were evil and caused the flood, all tall people are evil. Just like any religion, they pick and choose what parts of the bible they follow. Except in the JW's, you can get kicked out of the church for disobeying.

I am glad you and your coworker can have a grown up discussion about your differences without any anger. I wish others could. This was a nice follow up Bea.

I remember feeling quite confused because a birthday is an anniversary and I couldn't see the distinction!
