We usually don't post things about Religion because it is controversial to some people, so don't make comments about someone's religion, it's their choice.

This was an email received from a friend, and I thought I would share it.

I believe you should stand up for what you believe in and not bow down to the pressure of others who try to "convert" you to either another religion or belief.

I personnally don't have a religion, but I do have quite a few beliefs. I do not feel it is my place to share this with everyone as they must find their own way.


p.s., I will quickly lock this if it gets out of control. And remove any posts that may cause issues.

This should be a topic about the email. Not much else. No offence Hybrd$n!pr, but it can bring up other things to talk about that.

I deleted posts that were not relevant to the email, don't take it personally, some of the posts are getting into the controversially part that I warned about, and we don't want to go there with this. ;)
