You pegged it, LH. Though a really close second is Los Angeles at afternoon rush hour.

Someone suggested that christianity takes the brunt of the hits at Mudcat when we discuss religion. But it is one of the big three religions that all bear examination--muslim, judaism, and christianity are so far removed from their roots, are so industrialized that they're all quite problematic. Part B of this discussion--if you complain about the lousy behavior if Israel, does that make you anti-semitic? I say no, but as long as they can justify being bad neighbors by making critics back down with that offensive line, they'll do it.

It is dangerous to lump all practitioners of a particular religion together and accuse them of bad behavior toward the rest of the world. I'd guess that most of the typical practitioners are okay people. It's the zealots who give the religions a bad name. And any of them that insist on proselytizing, on converting others (as a way to justify their own existence, one presumes), they are a huge problem.
