rrrrrgg.. my entire point is that people are taking offense to my methods and approach like they have in no other situation I've been in that involved people of above-average intelligence. My point is that they are taking offense too easily, and ignoring all indications that I don't take any of this that seriously. If you think that I am coarse, boorish, and stupid in the way I approach issues, I would invite you to pay a visit to the Earth2025 General Message Board, or even to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives!
As for Truckeye, look: I am from the suburbs of St. Louis, where everybody and his brother is a fundamentalist Christian. However, despite the fact that I am an atheist, I manage to get along with such people quite well, and the fact that a person feels in his heart that I must be saved or go to hell doesn't really offend me or lessen my estimation of them. All this said, I mOSt DEFinitely have the right to make a few measured pokes at the religious establishment at my discretion.
If you choose to take disproportionate offense to them, that is YOUR problem and YOURS alone.
You must realize that my position and my experiences have compelled me to take a rather light-hearted and somewhat indifferent view of such matters.
