"Leveller's argument is under-girded by an apparent belief that religion is by nature destructive and regressive."

Wrong again! Your arguments really are built on sand, aren't they?

"Leveller reminded us in his opening post that "the bastion of South African apartheid for many years was the Dutch Reformed Church," but failed to recall that Bishop Desmond Tutu led the opposition to apartheid in South Africa."

Eh? Tutu was not a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. You're getting a bit tied up in knots here, Goose. I suggest you find out a bit more about S African politics before you try to use that as an argument against mine - I was there and I was involved.
