I actually removed myself from the AFA mailing list because of this. Most of the email I was receiving from this list pertained to issues that I felt were gross over-reactions to pretty trivial issues.

I merely wanted to recognize the fact that such people exist, some of whom work in positions of power.

On the flip side I am not about to go "outlaw the practice of religion" even if I do believe it is an "archaic system". People have every right to believe what they want. Jim,
I echo the sentiment that Christians have a bad habit of picking the wrong battles.  On the flip side I am not about to go “outlaw the practice of religion” even if I do believe it is an “archaic system”.  People have every right to believe what they want.

For those antagonistic towards Christianity, the goal is not to kill it, but rather to neuter it, so that it becomes an empty husk of cultural practices rather than a potent and substantial worldview.

TRUTH has to be#1. Anything that's half true you can't depend on. Think about how much time would be wasted waiting untrue hope, faith, religion or science. How much of a chance would we have had getting to the moon with all most true science. On Dec.05 You ask which was the most important?
