Psudolus, nobody said *all* religious people are abusive, just that religion facilitates abuse, and here are some examples. I wouldn't expect to fine anybody who posts here, um, religiously, to be that far out of touch, although all of us probably know people who are, none of whom are atheists. The atheists I know tend to live in the real world.

Of course, that real world being defined through its rational investigation, much of which was through what we term science...
