I still don't see what deserves a kick in the shins. Give it to me verrry slowwwwly! <g>

I simply say that by the definition you put forward, Joan and Chuzz are religious zealots.

Question: Using your definition, and the definition of zealot I cribbed out of the Shorter OED, don't you agree that they are persons who are devoted to some principle and active in the promotion of a cause? If so, they are religious zealots.

And surely you would agree that fundamentalist evangelical Christians are religious zealots. No?

So they are all the same thing!

And we have to keep ALL of them out of our schools to keep out religious zealotry.

Simple logic, dear to Chuzz's heart. No kick in the shins deserved at all.
