Um, harpgirl, dearest, you have a right to be offended, but we also have a right to be offensive. Some people are doubtless offended when I see threads about condoms and such, but they don't try to play Topic Police about it.

The mudcat is a wonderful place for people to talk about all sorts of things. Sex, history, politics, SOAP fergoshsakes. Except extreme prejudice, it's hard to see what reason can be given to exclude religion from that list.
