I've seen a highly technical discussion board blow up over these subjects during a crisis such as 9/11. Normally everyone gets along because of their shared interest or job. But once the topic drifts to religion and politics, things blow up quick.

It just seems that people naturally segregate themselves from people who believe differently than they do, and hang out with people who believe like they do. Most sites are for one or the other but not both. Few sites seem to fulfill the needs of Republicans AND Democrats or Christians AND Muslims for example. But some do like google and yahoo where there are groups of all types.

That is what grandma would say about sitting down for dinner. The thread is here and feelings run deep. Some choose the top of the fence

Sitting atop a strong tall fence isn't a bad place to be during a flood.

I agree with your post Texasbelle. I think everybody has their own way or worship. Some real deep and others that like to stay on the surface. I am OK with either one.

Did you have time in this life to read the Book ? There is no one that will make you read it. You read it not because you have to but because you want to.

I think it is a choice that people make to get up a few minutes earlier say at 5:30 for that quiet time to spend time studying the Word. For me this month, it's a study of David. What's your study ?
