"When the Mormons quit interfering as a block in the politics of other states, maybe we'll leave them alone"

If they do it again, I'll be all over them just like I was when they did it with Prop 8, and if they start to convert dead Jews again, ditto. Right now we have a truce.

"it would be nice if folks could refrain from sticking their religion up someone else's nose."
Now that is a nice belief system-neutral statement I totally agree with.

"Religionistas that leave other people alone- great"
Atheists need to leave religionistas alone, too. It's time for koan to quit telling them how to run their club.

Orthodox Jews have almost the same rules as Mormons about women rabbis; they just don't excommunicate, with qualifications. They just consider the rest of us to be illegitimate :>)
