i know of no one who would argue that there are pink elephants with the same intensity that I have witnessed about there being a deity. But then again, I'm not from Canada... (joking)
you're employing the scarecrow fallacy. no one is saying that they have never wanted to correct someone. and no one is saying that there aren't people who want to correct others for their own reasons. my post is regarding a trend that i've noticed throughout my lifetime, engaging many different types of people around the world. in my experience, which this thread was based upon from the initial post, the reaction to the idea of God far outstrips any other subject you care to name. certainly there will be exceptions, rule breakers of all sorts. that doesn't take away from the overall trend i've encountered.
