kholt, I understand why those of faith find the term offensive. I sympathize with them on principle, not because I am committed to any faith. I stated my opinion and I sought to neither persecute nor prosecute. I believe their are certain topics which can only be discussed with the utmost care so as to show the proper respect to those with inherent traits which may differ from our own. Race, sex, disability, ethnicity and yes...religion are in that bag IMO. I am not perfectly consistent in my application of this principle, but I try very hard. I did not seek to judge your use of the term either, just that your opinion and mine differ on this issue. If that sounded preachy, I assure you it was ENTIRELY unintentional.
