[QUOTE="Philothei, post: 50677942, member: 167867"] I agree with Annoula that this is one way to "avoid" conflict with others in general.... Just node be polite and leave it to that. But not all of us are so strong to do that unfortunately. And also sometimes others need to be told to "relax" and let the other party explain what EO religion is all about... In any case when the communication is going wrong there is nothing one can do I agree... Better to 'duck it" and go your way... Respect always is two ways street...never one way.... So IMHO if someone attacks you for your beliefs to me that is showing no respect and the same applies for us we have to be careful not to offend others who might not understand ... :) Hope that helped a bit. ... although not quite sure Mrs. Dahl...
