So 2+2 = 4 is God/Religion. Face it, you throw around the words God,
Religion and Theology all the time but without any clear non-contradictory
definition of any of them, nor can you come up with a example that is not
completly ridiculous. The closest you have come is that when arguing with a
atheist like me "theology" is a convenient insult you can throw if the
atheist says something you disagree with.  And calling someone that you
know doesn't like religion religious is not exactly a new putdown, I
believe I first heard it around 1964.

And in spite of your frequent use of the word, or more likely because of
it, I am no longer even clear about what exactly your homegrown term "comp"
is supposed to mean.
