. No doubt its just my limited experience with priests who are both pious and intelligent.

Limited no doubt by the fact that no pious and intelligent priest would care to have anything to do with you. JLA

nihil (Hawaii's human blowhole):

If you were truly sorry to offend me, I wonder why you did. I don't recall attacking any belief (or lack of belief) of yours or anyone else's. I wonder why you make it a point to insult me after I have politely asked you more than once to give it rest. You force me to conclude that you are a prick.

Although not keeping score, I recall little, if any, religious intolerance expressed by believers on this thread. Some of the non believers seem eager to comment on "belief" in a negative way.

To say that religion "deserves" to be ridiculed presumes that you know what is unknowable. You force me conclude that you are willfully stupid as well as willfully rude.

It is a shame that your cousin and uncle spent much of their lives in disagreeable circumstances. Hard to imagine a clergyman who prayed only when he had to. Talk about hell on earth!

I don't doubt that you've not had the pleasure and benefit of acquaintance with devout and intelligent clergy. Then again, most people of intelligence (religious or not) keep moving when they realize they are in the presence of an asshole.

BTW, if you get the urge to touch base with Admin Bob, you may assure him that, if you have been offended in any small or large way, I am not sorry at all.

YO' MAMA.....!!!

With sincere contempt,

Mike

Well, Nihil, old buddy, looks like you and I have been rejected by the likes of the Michaels, JLA, and Neo, and the rest of the Know-Nothings, and are consigned to consort with the likes of Locke, Jefferson, Madison, Defoe, Twain, Mencken, etc., etc., etc. Don't know about you, but I prefer the company we keep to the company they keep.

A big cyber-hug to you for having the balls to speak the truth in the darkness.
