As someone who is religion-free and is light-years away from being a Christian, I too, find moralistic bible-thumpers, koran-thumpers, etc., highly offensive (let alone, dangerous, at times). But I agree with EJ that making snide, contemptuous, hateful remarks just to satisfy an insatiable hunger for negative attention is far more offensive. Praise has never been in my face with her religious beliefs and I've appreciated that. I also agree that this is not the place for preaching but it seems to me that this is simply the way she thinks and therefore, defends herself; via the same method. Praise, perhaps has stepped on some toes with this (very few times). Certain others (again, very few) have made their vitriol their trademark. The one's (in my eyes, forgivable) outburst(s) are just not in the same league as the constant barrage of venom from the others.
