OK. I usually don't get into debate, but this isn't the place to talk
about religous beleifs. I'm glad you have an opinion, but I for one, am
14 years old and have been an official member of my church for a year now.
I don't have a problem 'being dragged to church'.

Uh, so this means that teaching a child something in school is forcing it on
them? Otherwise all knowledge is forced?

LEGOs are used as people want to use them. Don't be angry at people's
imagnations.

True, this isn't a place to spread religous things, but if someone wants
to talk about it I don't see to much of a problem with it as long as there
is not habit forming.

I'm not going off on a rant, but with some of the things I've been thru in
my life I'm telling you he exists.

OK, then if you dont want to talk religous, dont talk religous. I'm obviously
on the other side of the ballfield then you, but i'm not one to use a lego
based place to argue over non lego debates. End of story.
