I found that amusing as well. Unfortunately, he has become almost a personification of what he decries about religion. The sad part is that he has a legitimate point, but his hostility makes establishing common ground difficult at best. Unfortunately, we see this style of argument far too often on these forums, but it usually is contained within the political threads. Still, this has the reputation of being a hot-headed topic as well.
Kudos to the rest of the membership for keeping the past five pages above board and clean in what could have been a very ugly thread. As moderators, we frequently deal in problems. It can give us a skewed view of the general temperment of the forum. This thread has, for the most part, reaffirmed my faith in the members of this board and for that I thank you all. You gave me a pick-me-up when I needed it.
