The best tool for understanding where someone is coming from is in knowing where they learned what they learned. That's why I don't hide the fact that my knowledge/understandings come from catholic teachings.
A really good question for you, you insist that any belief in a deity is religion, period. So why is it you cry out against the organised religion referances and not the personal beleifs? If religion is the contention then isn't any experesion of belief in God unworthy of meantioning?
