Having at least one long standing rule...never discuss religion in >any< kind of company...let alone polite company...I was spared from "fighting the good fight".
In my several conversations...and my afternoon and evening with the man...never once was the subject raised.
And, quite frankly, other people with "strong beliefs" of a non-religious nature have been in my house...for multiple days...and didn't carry on incessantly about certain subjects that they carry on frequently about in these fora. ymmv.
So...while I understand from the participants in those "debates" that there were hard feelings...I don't share them.
