I'm not sure if causing an offense is a bad thing all the time - suppose it depends on the situation.

It's alright - I understand the meaning
And it could get really heavy going if we discuss whether He is dead or not

Abstinance I think is a tad unrealistic, since it is counter to the natural desire to procreate. My first post was badly written, and I didn't take into account how sensitive people are on the subject of religion. Shame it can't be banned on the forum
Anyway, apologies if my clumsy post caused any offence to anyone.
