A believer will listen to a non believer and still probably won't change their beliefs and the same for a non believer listening to a believer. It's a pointless waste of conversation IMO. Personal faith and belief should be just that...personal. If someone is radical and tries to force their beliefs onto others, that is different and there are radicals on both sides of the argument.

Hi Annie,
I agree with what you say re people poking fun at others beliefs we are lucky that this has become such a peaceful thread.
If we took away the headings we would just have experiences and know that it is life itself which we are all taking part in. We possibly each have feelings of exaggerated peace and love which the OP suggested happened with the lass, if not it is within each of us to experience it. No mystery just life. All words are man made but imo religion takes possession of the ones which unfortunately cause frustration.
