I clarified my position in my 15 May 04 - 07:46 AM post, my 15 May 04 - 08:00 AM post, and my 15 May 04 - 09:27 AM post in which I said:

"Sorry, I'm not debating religion in this thread, because it isn't a thread about religion. It is a thread about the destruction of the US human rights agenda by the Bush administration."

I also attempted to move the discussion of the importance of secularism to a new thread, in order to get this thread back on the discussion of human rights in this one:

American Secularist Tradition

But considering the fact that I'm the Radical Secularist guest who started the thread Big Mick, that sorta makes this thread my soapbox, just like anyone else who starts a thread about the subject they want to rant about. Again, there was no need for you to single me out, but your thirst for my blood just can't keep you from attacking me, can it?
