Oh - I almost forgot to point out the silly contention that christening is somehow harmful to an infant. I suppose it's also wrong for parents to even discuss religious ideas in front of their children, for fear their little minds may be perverted.

That's what I'm talking about - the idea that people on both extremes seek the same thing: to suppress and control what people say and do.

There has rarely been any attempt at Mudcat to discussion religion as it is for the vast majority of people who take the middle road. Here at Mudcat, religion is almost always defined according to the actions of the extreme, fundamentalist minority.

Get this straight: most religious people are plagued by fundamentalists, too. In fact, they have a far greater effect on us, and we may dislike them even more than you do.
