xiiphantomiix -- You've inadvertently hit upon the basis of my personal
belief system. Demonstrating how to live one's life is much more of a challenge than merely talking about it. I like to think that if I have anything to offer others in the way of advice about how to conduct themselves it can only be in the form of an example.

Interesting
I'm new to blogit and you're right, that blog title does grab attention--in fact it had me outright laughing. I am by choice a practicing Roman Catholic and have learned about it as much as I can--I seriously considered entering the seminary last year. I do not have anything bad to say about you. I guess I'm trying to prove to everyone that not all people of a "certain faith" don't know how to get along with people who don't subscribe to said "certain faith". You are witty, intelligent and believe in whatever you believe. Freedom is beautiful.

Have you ever seen Chris Rock's movie "Head of State"? The vice-presidential candidate says, "God bless America--and no one else!" Sometimes that's how I feel people of various religions act out of their fervor.

Here's my opinion to all who are interested:

The greatest way to get any message across is through the way you live your life.

Respecting others beliefs leads to a better discussion than criticizing
them does.
