Hello Snow
We have not met I am Jim
How and in what way is it not open. These people listen and offer opinions that are well informed and have been kind enough in many cases to supply information that would have taken a great deal of time to aquire. Often I have noticed that people get caught up in the game of debate and do not make a attempt to understand the others side. I for one have many friends that are Christian and I make no attempt to change them. But we do discuss the principals used to influence a congregation and how one is used by religious leaders to achieve their ends. Reading over this post I do relies that it may sound caustic it is not intended to be. Imagine instead that we are talking over doughnuts and coffee at a late hour and that my tone is friendly.

Best wishes
Jim
