First off .. I think that there may be a note of concern for my heart and mind in that post .. very misguided, but thanks.

Did you assemble that yourself or was it a quote from somewhere?

>"You're not allowed to say things like that!" <

It's most odd, but that is quoted as a comment from many fundamentalists to an atheist. Think about it. Most of the time today in this country that comment flows in the reverse direction. From the atheist to the fundamentalist. Please note: Atheism is a faith like many others. It is a set of beliefs based on faith not fact.

This "virus" that you talk about .. I agree with you, for the most part.

Most of Christianity is just such a monster.
