Robert,
Bob, please.
As a fellow secularist, I have to point out that this type of
confrontational arguing serves to discredit us in the eyes of most US citizens.
No, it doesn't. And, even if it did, how would you know? You don't
know, and you haven't communicated with, "most US citizens." You don't
speak for anyone apart from yourself.
How's about THAT for "confrontational?"
I submit that to whatever extent I am argumentative and/or
confrontational, either, neither, or both, it matters not a tinker's dam to
those people (I include non-Americans and non-Christians) who think anyone
who doesn't practice their religion is automatically Beelzebub's
handmaiden, right out of the gate.
Therefore, I choose to be IN YO' FAITH!
Please try a different approach.
OK. I'll go from confrontational to vulgar: I'll tell them to suck my
balls.
THAT'S different, isn't it?
Bob
