Actually I don't champion an anti-religious social order. I personally believe that relgious morality helps keep the peasants in line. As for me I'm an ubermensch, and as such not bound by the silly conventions of other humans. And I think Stalin just as bad as Savanarola. I do not single out Christian religions either. Most religions have nasty episodes, as most nations do. I think people are just generaly nasty and brutish. And I rarely foam at the mouth. I merely mentioned that I can't help but associate certain outbursts of intolerance with Christianity. But I also associate some of the greatest painting, sculpture, architecture and literature with it as well. I consider the Bible to be the greatest literature I have ever read (well, parts of it.) And I have made my ambivalence clear. I can't decide whether you actually see the world in black and white, or whether you just favor the pit bull style of conversation. I hope it is the latter.
