it was not merely a nit pick. "Godly" is not equivilent to "extremists".

and...

it makes rational discussion quite difficult.

i see... so from arguing now it is: "rational discussion"

well...

1. as i said, when you quote me you should quote the entire sentence.

godly, for the most part, and from my perspective includes extremists you chose to concentrate on the religious. i did not.

2. long ago i have hinted, meant to, expressly said, that: "you and i disagree". you keep harping on my posts with your religious message.

i am willing to live with our disagreement, it does not bother me. you on the other hand, keep repeating TO ME, your particular view. it seems that my difference of opinion bothers you like hell. i do not what else to tell you .... you keep on coming back, and i guess there is nothing else i can tell you ... other than....

to give you an example why i view religious people as extremist i submit this statement i have heard it myself as a child and to other children in more recent generations:

"if you do not believe in god you are going to go to hell"

not only do i find that statement extremist, i find it insulting. in fact ignorant, since to this day i have never met a single individual who has been to heaven or hell, yet religious people believe it as if it was a tangible fact.

now... on top of all this, i recall you saying that YOU are NOT even religious, yet every time i read your posts, my mind visualizes you as a crazy monk. why ? because you keep harping on the religious part of my posts.. projection ? infatuation?

now... to me not only is that the belief of an extremist, you are a lunatic in my opinion.

those are my views and there is NOTHING you can do to change them. nor am i interested that you change your views, you are free to believe as you choose.

i am aware that i have my own lunacies, but i am happy with them. whether you are happy with yours, is really none of my affairs.

just don't push them on me or others.
