Hi Craig,

I will discuss, even debate religion or religious matters with you in a face-to-face conversation, one on one any time, anywhere. I will not, however, engage in such a conversation or debate in a public, online forum for bonsai. Religion (even politics) is a caustic topic even in a face-to-face conversation among even the best of friends. Here, it would become a destructive exercise and we all of us here know it.

Discussing elements of faith can be interesting and uplifting. Arguing elements of faith, in a forum for bonsai - hamstrung by the removal of many of the most important elements necessary for effective communication, is a non sequitur and an activity for fools.

Kind regards,
