Re: "I should have said the local pinheads around here, who whine every time one mentions God, and clap every time more of our heritage is knocked to the ground. The very fact that you call me insane proves my point."

>>> I asked 'are you insane'... I did not call you insane, but the very fact that you are pissed about some 'local pinheads... whining about God', and have somehow confused them with me in your head (for I surely never said any of those things) might mean at least that you possibly have some concentration problems :^)

"and what I meant by willingly accept, is that while many around here whine and moan every time the President mentions his faith, if the President was an atheist and spouted same, no one would care."

>>> Well, if that's your opinion, you are welcome to it... but I think it's quite false. (See any avowed atheists winning votes on the Presidential campaign trail, do you? Have you EVER? In your whole life?) Why, in the post you responded to, I pointed out that the USA is one of the most religious countries on Earth, by many measures.

"One can look around at the many attacks every day on Christianity and see what is happening,"

>>> If you say so... but conflicts between religions, or about religion don't seem like anything new to me --- I see a long string of such conflict stretching back to the dawn of recorded history.

"if you are not a part of the hounds, then I apologize,"

>>> OK, thanks.

"but you do seem to want to tie either me or Thomas to that Moon fellow."

>>> Nah, I just posted an article about the Moonies getting taxpayer funds when TAW popped in with a comment about how the (1) Moonie family he's met had 'nice kids'... without really responding to any of the Rev. Moon's statements like 'American women are prostitutes', or that the murder of jews by Hitler was recompense for the crime of 'killing Christ'.

>>> I realize that Bush's people might want to suck up to the church because of the Washington Times, but, p-l-e-a-s-e.
