My wanting to know where you're coming from makes me an intolerant religionist? Seriously?

That is one of the weakest things I have seen from you so far. I admit I find the fact that you don't want to share your own biases is very puzzling to me and I can only wonder why because it would allow for a more free and honest exchange of ideas from the start instead of this constant game playing that you seem so fond of. Take for instance our conversation about human beings and how they know the difference between right and wrong. You were left just saying "that's just the way it is" because you refused to share your views of what Human beings are and their relationship to the universe, God, and one another. Not much hope of getting beyond "that's just the way it is" when that's your bottom line. Contrast that with this refreshingly frank and honest statement from a recent post here: Message 26224610

"My Biases
Any discussion about religion means I ought to state my biases. While I had a broad religious upbringing, my basic beliefs are more or less agnostic with a slight atheist tendency (balanced by an overly large fascination with religion… I own a few dozen variations on the Bible and copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hamadi texts). I’m married to a religious person and we both accept each other as is.
Folks are welcome to politely discuss religion here, just don’t go all Preachy on things and don’t insult each other. I enjoy the topic, but not the insult wars. Respect each other. It works for me and my spouse."

I'm not asking you to take a blood oath I just want to know where you are generally coming from.
