I went to a religious school, my mother's family is steeped in Catholicism, I've read the Bible and the Quran, I've got Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist and Christian friends and I'm generally interested in religions and academic discussions of same. I do not happen to believe in any God. That doesn't mean I don't feel spiritual.

In the West, our secular ethics, even our European languages, are molded by the Bible and biblical stories. Christianity has influenced our thoughts and morals so profoundly that many non-religious people don't even realize their values are actually derived from it.

So yes, religious questions impact ALL of us.

I agree with the idea that Christianity has impacted us all. We don’t live in the Greco-Roman winner-take-all, kill your rivals and enemies world. And in the West (not claiming around the world) this is down to Christianity.

But that’s neither here nor there. Disrupting OP’s thread on beaches and heaven (I assume that was OP) isn’t a matter of great theological debate. It just seems unnecessary or childish or spiteful or something. [/quote]
