Bravo and well said Galen.  One of the things I have always loved about the
SCA is that it tends to attract reasonable people of all faiths.  In the
same way that heavy fighters and light fighters can still, after decades,
carry on a good natured friendly rivalry, I like to think that I can sit
down with a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew, a Wiccan, and anyone of any number
of other beliefs and have a spirited conversation - and everyone goes home
friends afterwards.
