"I can't see that I am heading, even 'gradually', in any such direction"
Can't help but notice that we have moved with considerable ease from

I have suggested that any religion, given the opportunity, would resort to oppresive measures to further its cause - you appear to be making Zionism a no-go area - perhaps I should have stuck with the "Will Israel attack Iran" thread!!
