"Kallan the mysterious" is my friend. We may not believe the same things but we are on the same page with a lot of things.

Just a second, Kallan......
(((((Delylah))))))))) Thank-you, I am honored.
I think Ramjet is amazing too.
There are some really nice people here, I like how several of you just shine with all good stuff, keep that edge that sense of zaniness. It doesn't matter to me about beliefs. Commonality is great when it happens, but it tends to not look like beliefs. Commonality looks more like heart.
There are others that I just like seeing on the board day in and day out. Makes this place come alove. (typo that I thought appropriate).
And then there is you. Fellow warrior, totally different paths, common on many levels...I appreciate you a great deal.

None. I frequent this section in waves so I'm never around for too long and have never bothered holding a conversation with anyone outside of the site. There may be some I recognize more often and vice versa, but I wouldn't consider them friends. Judging by the thumbs downs I accumulate for my "in the middle", agnostic views I'm sure the feeling's mutual. I'm just amazed I picked up a small number of fans along the way.

It's really question-dependant. I have no grudges against anyone here, so that pretty much means that I might find myself giving them a thumbs-up for an answer just because they put it better than I ever could--even if they do it while referencing a religion I don't agree with. Then I'll proceed to disagree with a statement in a question asked by the very same person. All within the course of five minutes!
There are times I've even thumbs-upped people who I've received hate mail/conversion attempts from. And then there are times I've followed them around from question to question, providing those answers that feel like a well-scratched itch once "submit" is clicked. Earning, of course, more hate mail. But I've got to be honest on this one!
My best friend (who was also the Best Man at my wedding) may not be a member here, but he's Christian. My own wife (who IS on Yahoo Answers, but tends to stay away from this mess) is Wiccan. My parents--while not strict--hold mostly Christian viewpoints. My sister "rides the fence" on many religions... she won't admit it, but I don't think she really knows where she stands--or at the very least, doesn't wish to find a label for her beliefs. I like to think these people all count!
On my contacts, there's someone who calls herself amelia_albertine. I know for a fact that I say things about both religion and its followers that make her wince if ever she were to read them: But looking over many of her questions and her answers is really quite positive and enlightening at times--and she doesn't "lurk" only R&S. Since she hasn't (yet!) removed me from HER contacts, I can only say, "Thanks for hanging in there with me!" Based off of some of the statements of hers that I've read, I know many of my posts DO offend her; but I hope she knows that I hold her in high regards.
I have some on my contact list who rarely venture into these waters, so I really have no idea what their religious beliefs are.

Seimethyr, Wolfeblayde, Debra M., Uncle Wayne, Proud Muslimah, Keri Gee, The Last Ent Wife, Parakeets4Jesus, Squishy, God's Kitty, Gunning4Jesus... I KNOW there's a few I'm forgetting. All of these people are lovely. One day I will convert them all to the Church of the Thricehood and let them eat of my fruits! (After they finish feeding me).

The only one I've actually met is Quiet Warrior, and she's very sweet. I have a great deal of respect for Imacatholic, and have put him/her on my contacts list, but as you can see, I don't even know that person's gender. He/she and I have exchanged emails, but I simply don't remember whether gender was ever mentioned.
My problem is that I don't tend to remember names, or remember which ones are of which religion, unless their nicknames suggest it. I know there are some very polite and friendly Christians who have joined our semi-serious group, Evolution Conspiracy, but I don't remember which ones. Old Timer's Disease, you know?
Also, as a witch, I am more than usually anathema to Christians. And hardly anyone believes the exact same things I do, because I'm a very free-wheeling eclectic sort of witch.

This is going to sound strange, but biggestjesusfan has turned out to be one of the nicest people I've talked to on here. She is polite and does not bash me for being an Atheist. I've even ranted to her about Christians and she hasn't flinched. If anyone gets to talk to her, you'll see she actually is very sweet and sincere.
Super Bobo is also very nice and funny.
Okay, I'm going to have to go to bed. I'm drunk enough that it is an effort to spell correctly, and I refuse to use the spell check! Australians are supposed to be able to hold their liquor well, but I suppose I'm a bit of a wimp in this regard.
Love, all!

You and I don't believe the same things, but you know I think you're great. ((((Kallan))))
Same thing is true of Zilla, Markyyy, Lokasenna, Pangel, Squirrel, and a whole lot of the other good folks here at R&S. Even when we don't agree, I still enjoy reading your posts and knowing that you're here in the forum.
Edit:
ARRGGHH!!! How could I have forgotten to mention Laptop and Thrice? They're neat people!

You! Pangel, Ramjet, Debra M, Father K. Lots more, I am sure, but the red wine is fuzzing up my mind a bit.
