   I don't remember asking for acceptance.   
   Just as it is everyones right to express their religious views, those who   
   happen not to be christian are also allowed to express theirs. I am not   
   attacking anyone about their religion. I just state my views on it, which   
   are mine alone; however, in a discusion about religion, it is fine to   
   mention them.   
      
   Rather, why does it interest you so much that I am not christian, as you   
   always feel a need to reply when I state such things? Do you feel your   
   religion is under threat?
