First off I just want to thank everyone here that this hasn't turned into a flame-fest like it would on many forums. I am christian, but I definately don't try to shove it down peoples throats, I find that obnoxious. I actually had mormons come to my door on Easter Sunday once, and I have never before seen a door to door missionary at a loss for words against a 15 year old (my poor defenceless self at the time). I try to live my life in a christianly way and let my actions speak for me. When a christian composes him(her)self in a manner that befits his(her) faith you can generally tell, and I have been able to talk about God with many non-christians through a conversation THEY started. It's far easier to get someone to take you seriously, even if they don't agree, when you aren't annoying them. Some of the most rewarding conversations I have ever had were with atheists who firmly believed what they did, but were willing to debate with me like an adult without all the personal attacks and insults that so often accompany this type of conversation.

This post has gotten too long, and has nothing to do with cigars.
I'm finished.
