What a boring world it would be if we all believed the same thing. I can’t help but think that God (or whomever or whatever you choose to believe in) must delight in diversity. Why else would there be so many different ethnicities, cultures, religions, etc.? Heck, anyone who considers the age-old battle of the sexes must realize that God has a sense of humor.

Shouting from the tops of mountains “My religion is great and yours sucks/is misguided/will lead you straight to hell and damnation” is a horrible way to share your faith. There can’t be just one answer or one religion. As a believer in God, I am often surprised and delighted that there are so many different paths available. Find what works for you, in this space and time, and let others find what works for them. “Lord, protect me from your followers” http://www.thudfactor.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

I like your distinction between how your occupation and your religion are the best for you, but that’s not necessarily so for anyone else. I think that atheists, like Christians, are often “spoken for” by the loudest amongst them, and those individuals do not necessarily represent their belief systems well. It’s difficult for anyone in a more moderate position to understand the extremists of either belief system. That’s why posts like this are so important.
