Thanks for sharing Patch! As a Christian, we obviously won't see eye to eye on these things but this isn't an exclusive thread.
So, how do you view the world then? Do you believe in any sort of supernatural? What do/will you do when your children ask questions about God?

Oh, and as for the extremist thing, all I can say is - when someone becomes a Christian (or takes on any other faith) they still are capable of acting outside what their belief teaches. Any Christian who hates, judges, treats people harshly, etc, goes against what the bible teaches. I'm sure this is very similar for many other faiths.
