From: Julia Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>I would tend to agree with this statement.

Is the prevalence of this attitude perhaps regionally influenced? I
know I wasn't hearing it in New England to anywhere *near* the extent I
hear it in Texas.

I find it incredibly annoying, offensive and arrogant to have someone assume that their religious point of view is more valid than yours.
