Right, Rig--"caring adults" who somehow don't have time for the kind of good works the Baptists just mentioned are engaged in. And if you don't think that organization helps in delivery of services, you're more deluded than I thought.

I'd also like to see the North Texas Atheist or perhaps Atheist-Anarchist Relief Group helping out flood or tornado victims. When they do, your broad-brush attack on religion may start making some sense.

So it would be appreciated if you would wipe the foam from around your mouth and start dealing with reality, even facts which don't fit into your predetermined decision--(do you really mean to imitate our dear Chickenhawk-in Chief?--refusal to consider anything contrary to his predetermined decisions is his MO, as you may be aware.)

In fact, it was notable in the Katrina situation, for instance, that church groups were much faster and more effective than traditional relief groups like the Red Cross.

Or are you totally against all organizations also, in addition to being against religion, immigrants, and basically anyone who dares to disagree with anything you might be in favor of?

Again I ask--why is tolerance a bad word in your vocabulary?

Live and let live seems to work pretty well for most rational people. Why is it anathema to you?
