Ah but see.... for me at least religion/spirituality/ militant "lack of" are very personal decisions. Moreso than political and economical, because those fluctuate within everyone and you can see results and demonstrate through ideas what your hypothesis is and work through to an end result.

Now, religions/spiritualities/philosophies of life are different and far more personal and require true faith and belief. Those that question theirs (in my experiences) are those that are far more militant than those more secure in their beliefs. As being very personal decisions, one doesn't want to be made fun of, told that their most personal faith/belief/decision is wrong. They will fight tooth and nail about it, especially the ones with much inner turmoil about their beliefs.

So there is a huge difference between politics/economics/etc and religious beliefs.... IMHO.

You brought the discussion here Will. You (among others) attacked one sentence and I asked to not threadjack so you brought the discussion here.

Now, you're telling me that my wanting to respect someone's thread by not threadjacking it and offering to discuss my views in a different thread is unwelcome, or I should have expected an attack? You chose this thread, instead of making a new one. I even stated early one I never even visited this thread because it had held no interest for me.

So, Will now it sounds like someone I supposedly had a mutual respect for decided to ambush me and set me up.

Very interesting.
