"Inflexible religious thinking poses extreme danger to everyone, regardless of how long it has been practiced, or who holds it sacred." Are you flexible on this, or is this THE TRUTH? You seem to have no trouble inflicting your views on those who don't agree with you. Why should one, as you put it "just say no to virgins" is that a rule? Where did you get that rule from and what right do you have to impose that on anyone else? If Atheism is true, then only the strong will survive. There is no right or wrong, we just make it up as we go along. Please stop trying to inflict your values on me.

The problem with advocating destruction of things, is that the really "awful" people (however you are going to define those people) advocate destroying things too- so it becomes difficult to really point out that you are seizing the high ground, when you slip into the moral swamp of jihad yourself (of course you wouldn't call it jihad- not you might call it "liberation" or "fighting for peace", or "killing for freedom" or maybe, "bombs for justice"....giggle.....laugh...rofl) I was just using the "you" rhetorically, Mr. Gray, I know you will know it wasn't aimed at you :-) It was purely a rhetorical device. Rock on, Mr. Stone.
