"where religion seems to have gone completely mediaeval on the system, if one can judge by politicians right and left frantically proclaiming their faith and even backing changing your constitution to better reflect Biblical law."

All of which I object to and will fight to the best of my ability.

"although in return, they don't seem to feel they are not respecting me by telling me I have no moral foundation because of my godlessness, for example."

And those people are wrong. What you think is fine with me. And you'll never catch me trying to convert you. But I suspect that the actions of some of the most conservative Christians takes a toll on the folks here. If you've been treated that way on the Mudcat you have my sympathies. And I'll be the first person to tell other Mudcatters that they need to rethink their position on that.

"I do find that stating what I think can be taken as an insult by many a sensitive Christian soul"

Then they're just too sensitive. Blow 'em off.

"I at least try to be respectful - of the person, not the belief itself"

Thanks - that's all I ask.
