Gao,
I am not backpedaling.

I am saying that I don't believe in Christianity, but respect your right to believe in it. I would even go as far as to say that I admire anyone who practices any faith as an expression of love, compassion, and tolerance.

Stating that I believe a case may be made for martyrdom of the Kennedy's, is not the same as saying as saying that I put them or anyone else on a pedestal above Jesus.

For many people, it appears that you believe I may be an exception, the choosing of one spiritual path does not immediately mean that you hold all other pathways in contempt. Respect for the choices and possibilities of others philosphies is not mutually exclusive to choosing a different philosophy.

You seem to have a habit of speaking down to people that you disagree with. If that is not true, I apologize. If true, I would kindly ask that you refrain from addressing me in that manner.
