re: #220 Mattand

This.

I personally try to adopt a live-and-let-live attitude, but you can only be told so many times that you’re the cause of America’s or the world’s problems before you snap.

And as I said yesterday, merely stating you don’t believe is often labeled as “militant” or “abrasive”.

The trick is to realize that the problem isn’t belief, it’s fundamentalism.
Hell, I’m probably more to the left than most people around here (to the point where I’m not sure whether I should label myself as a Social Democrat or an honest-to-god Socialist), but few people infuriate me as much as dogmatic, virulently anti-american leftists - precisely because they’re, in a way, “on my side”.

Likewise: Just remind yourself that the current director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State is a Christian minister.
