"For the most part, they just want to be left alone."

I like to be left alone to intelligently discus my religious feelings with my friends on the Mudcat. But Evangelical atheists keep coming on threads and as Steve Shaw puts it "taunting me" so when I saw the article I thought maybe this guy has seen what I have seen.

But no. His experience is different from mine in many ways. But the article had several interesting ideas, and the guy is a primatologist and I am a big fan of bonobos and monkeys. So I posted it anyway.

Some people were interested. Some people took it personally. Some people expressed tangential opinions. That is in my opinion how we got to this point.
