Hi all,

I definitely don't want to debate religion and I have no intension of 
arguing anyone's point of view.  What I meant was that God is the only 
father that will not leave or forsake us was all I mean.  We all need a 
mother and father, absolutely.  I just meant that in the end, if a parent 
abandons his/her child, that there are people and/or a devine spirit such as 
God that will always be there.  Again, I don't want to turn this into a 
religious debate or anything, but I will share my faith with anyone. 
Everyone has the right to agree or disagree.
