i have just reread all of my posts on this topic, and other than my swimwear comment, i don't believe i have made a comment that is in any way insulting. as i have stated, many times, my intent has never been to offend. as i said in my first post in this thread, i want my children to learn and appreciate all types of religions, and make an educated choice on what suits them in their own hearts. i am not going to intentionally offend a religion if i want my child to be able to experience what it has to offer if they choose to partake.

and sunflower, other than my swimsuit comment, i haven't attacked any rituals, beliefs etc of any particular religion. yes, i did comment that in my experience catholics are the first to judge, once again, i grew up catholic, i went to catholic primary and secondary schools, i did all the communions etc, and yes, i believe i am entitled to the opinion that i came across alot of biggoted catholics. this was not a generalisation on catholics as a whole, it was of people that i encountered.

on the body topic, i am not a body flaunter either, and no i don't want to have my daughter flaunting her nude self around when she's older, i just think that i bodies aren't something that we should feel we have to keep hidden for fear of retribution. and no, you're right, i haven't researched muslim religion in great detail, and as i stated earlier, more power to adults who make the decision, i applaud your decision, especially in a western society, i just like to think that kids have a bit more choice.

once again, i have not meant to intentionally cause offense, and if you can point out to me exactly where i have then i'm happy to hear your opinion. however i have probably copped more personal atttacks than i have dished.
