Well John,
I do apologize. Sounds like you do have the ability to think on your own. Seems like this debate forum makes everything just too black and white.
Being a parent of eight children and 5 2/3 grandchildren, I congratulate you on your sound decision to stand up for your belief. (I guess my Catholic upbringing rewarded me with lots of family to love! And little money to spend! hahahahahaha
