This is a public forum. Your comments are public. If you choose to make insensitive, ignorant, or inflamatory comments - you are going to be called on it.

Whoever you said it to, you asked how it was possible to believe in God, yet not the bible, and then equated such to believing in your kids but not in what they say.

Perhaps overly inflammatorially (uh... is that a word?), I was referring to the fact that Christianity (and it's offshoots) is not the only religion that believes in a God, but it (and its offshoots) is the only ones that believe the bible is "the word of God."

Perhaps I was too harsh, and if so I apologize. But I found your assertion or assumption that only one religion could possibly be right, and that any other belief must mean something negative about your relationship with your children, rather callous and unthinking.

Surely you must know religion can be a touchy topic. A callous or unthinking comment about religion can be very offensive.

If you'd rather take this offline, feel free to email me (mbcrowder at jcpenney dot com). I do apologize if my initial response was too harsh - but stand by the intent of my comments.
