Jennifer Ulean Breedlove replied to Dano's discussion 'Why do we have to argue with religious people?'"I completely agree that we need to be active.

Michael L replied to Dano's discussion 'Why do we have to argue with religious people?'"It is possible to sway people, not overnight perhaps, but we can plant seeds.
