I am actually writing this just to clarify one thing. I will get back to you on all what you said. It is clear that you have done a lot of research and read a lot. As with regard to the so called patronizing remark "one of my closest friends is a christian", well when i wrote that I did not intend it to be patronising, and I am sorry if you felt so. I just wanted to say that I do not care if a person is a Christian or a Jew.

I really do not care what a person's religion is when i befirend them, deal with them or even bump into them on the streets. This particular issue is of no interest to me. And I am so sorry if there are people out there who are concerned with such things. So in no way was I trying to insult or patronize anyone. She herself was not insulted by that because I have told her about our "converstation". However, again I meant no insult to anyone. As with regard to the many points you raised, I will get back to you on that. Thanks!
