<If one more person tries to use the death of thousands to belittle people's religious beliefs while promoting their own atheist superiority agenda to the point of shoving it in people's faces, I will get sick on *that* person instead of in my own home. Ahem. Matt, we know you're not religious. You can stop shoving it down our throats any time now, ok? Some of us are religious, and we're sick of you acting like you're intellectually superior because of that. Give it a rest.>> I don't recall mentioning anyone's atheism, my opinions on the veracity of any religious beliefs, or instructions for anyone to open his or her throat for shoving. Could it be that the people who resort to putting words in my mouth can't find anything wrong with my point--that standing on the walls and proclaiming that these people died because they were of the wrong religion is an abominable, medieval thing to do? Could your disgust with my condemnation of such things indicate sympathy with Falwell and Robertson? You said that they don't represent your brand of Christianity, yet you're taking up arms to defend their statements when I condemn them. Perhaps I shouldn't have taken such pains to separate your version of religion from theirs. --M.W.
