First of all, I'm sorry you felt hurt, Scott, and sorry that I didn't focus on that before.
I guess it really is a statement that I could see myself making, in a completely logical way, so it hit me hard. Context *is* always important. I understand that.
I don't know. I consider myself to be an enormously open and embracing person in a religious sense. My personal belief is that God (by whatever name he is called) welcomes those who seek him, through whatever path they choose, or that is made available to them.
However, my path to that openness is one that I'd be afraid to state, given the block to Ray. And it somehow bothers me that her statement is read as a putdown of other religions, when similar thoughts brought me to embrace all seekers of the divine as being on a valid path.
