I got as far as "disobeyed God" then felt rather comfortable being seen as one who, as Joe describes them, is in attack mode.

Attack isn't the correct word though Joe. I would say that "react" would be a better choice of words. I also say that your being comfortable with fundamentalists so long as they don't go for the children is rather naive wouldn't you say? Another faith based school was shut down by inspectors in The UK yesterday I notice.

In the meantime religion has given us some rather wonderful edifices. I am about to visit The Emerald Temple here in Bangkok. (Even irreligious sods need a holiday from fighting the good fight eh? )
