I imagine that you might consider me to be a "milquetoast" Christian, in that I was raised Catholic (including 12 years of Catholic school), and I still attend weekly mass.

But I also respect others' beliefs as well as those who do not believe in any god or gods.

As I've mentioned before, if there is a god (or gods), I truly believe that the most important goal he/she/it/they have for us is to love each other and to take care of those in need.

Anyway, those are just my thoughts - I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with you.

Wishing you well and peace.

Tim
