No I did not notice yet that you were atheist. You were actually puzzling me. I kept saying to myself, "How could someone as intelligent and logical as he be a Catholic?" :-D). Did not read your profile. Now the question regarding me is, "How could a person as religiously devout as I get along so well with atheists?" I really have no answer. :->) view Dennis 's profile | Ping Dennis Kristi C., Dec 3, 2009, 11:09PM EST Good Luck with trying to catch up.

Yes, we're different, but very much alike at the same time, I think. At least we have similar opinions on religion. It's always good to meet reasonable people.
