MP: Answering for only myself, my understanding of Steve's initial comment (hey, Steve!? How's the blog going anyway?) and dmb's subsequent extended commentary on mine was of an openly antagonistic and combative approach with the intent of either conversion or suppression, but in no way at greater understanding. Maybe I read their tone wrong, but seemed pretty clear to me. > [Arlo] > Note too that the reverse holds. Those who believe in god or leprechauns > should not force others to abide by those beliefs in any way. Right? MP: Again speaking for myself; absolutely. Of criticisms of religion (and trust me, I have them, lots of them) this would be in my top five list.
