Very nicely said, RJ:)
I too am not religious (Australia is not overly religious compared to
other countries), but I defend the right of others to post stories
which illustrate their beliefs.
If those of a certain religious persuasion (whatever belief system it
may be) were tub thumping and condemning those who did not agree with
them, then it would be a different matter. This is not the case on the
Tree.
The Tree is not a pencil pine, with one narrow stem..it is a spreading Banyan
tree with diverse limbs and branches..hence there is space for all
folks, no matter what their culture or religion, to sit happily and
to feel friendship and respect=t from other denizens of the Tree.
