>You have repeatedly denigrated my statements that a government that officially recognizes a specific religion excludes people who are not of that religion.< I did not give a rip about your friggin' statement concerning a government's recognition of a religion, and I yet give not a rip about it. My thrust all along has been that government should get the friggin flip out of religion. A while back you came in huffin' and puffin' about the circumstances in Maryland amidst my simple pleasure that those good folk there refused to allow their community traditions to be destroyed by one godless nitwit. My point then was simply that they were first to have established themselves, just as millions of other folk, and only by godless folk doing EXACTLY what you claim to detest did religious folk have their traditions destroyed. Now everyone suffers under government Atheism. That was my beef with your position. If you guys wanna play that game, then you shouldn't whine when folk start using your tools to whip you upside the dang head. >Whenever I've tried to make that point your response has been that it's just me getting my feelers hurt. But then you start pissing and moaning about how the government "atheists" exclude those of faith. Suddenly that sort of exclusion is some kind of intolerable injustice.< Ain't no “suddenly” about it. You were getting' your feelers hurt, all the while bemoaning how that heathen punk in Maryland failed to stop folk from doing what they had done long before Atheists started whining, this, without constitutional problems whatever. >Either you truly believe that a governmental religious affiliation is unfairly exclusionary, in which case your derision of my statements to that effect mean you're a hypocrite, or you're making a big deal about just getting your feelers hurt.< Yeah right. Such stupid either/or illogic. You could simply have the whole dang thing wrong. Indeed this is precisely the case. >Either way, it's not my problem. I simply wrote a post to Neocon when I saw him make a point that I too had made. I have absolutely no desire to go through all of this again.< Well then shut the flip up.
