Are you guys remotely aware that you are in an RV newsgroup? I changed
the Subject of the post to OT which stands for off topic. It long since
became off topic. The original poster was looking for a campground
which no one could seem to provide a location for him , though I applaud
those who tryed to give him some helpful hinks. Whether someone
believes in God or not is a personal descision. They either have faith
that there is a God or they don't believe. Most folks that want to
discuss it go to the appropriate newsgroups and do such. An RV-travel
group does not seem like the appropriate place. There are many
Christian and Athiest Newsgroups with lots of people who truly care to
have a lively discussion with you guys about this. They would welcome
it. I don't think anybody in here cares. Why don't you move this to one
of those places. I think everyone would enjoy it a lot better.
