Often, I think it is a reaction to the negative and hateful things directed at the atheists by the religious in general. Or perceived to be directed at them. It could be viewed as justified payback. Not necessarily from the people being attacked but by society and religion in general. Now, I don't agree with that, necessarily, and don't think it is proper but have seen that behavior in some of those close to me who happen to be atheists. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
