Subject: RE: BS: Shh.. Don't let them hear you..
I don't give a shit about what evil has purportedly been done "in the name of religion". You'll never hear me using that argument, basically because it's an argument that has been misused so often as to bring it into disrepute. You will also never hear me say that you are not entitled to your beliefs. As I've said here a dozen or more times, your private beliefs are your private business. Do note my use of "private", though, so that I don't have to rattle on yet again about how I can respect them only if you keep them to yourself. Unfortunately for most Christians (including you), and for people of other major denominations, that appears to be far too much to ask. You have a God for yourself for whom you have no evidence, yet you are happy to allow your children to be taught that he embodies deep truths. You are probably a very nice fellow, but that, to me, is utterly unacceptable. And hey, I don't need a shrink, honest.
