Thank you. But let me clarify, I have no issue with god, your god or any other, but followers are the real threat, and think they can force their religion into civil law that I must follow.
It is very possible we could/would be friends in person. I have many friends that are christian, just good people that are honest upright hard working people, and treat there religion, like they treat their genitalia, meaning they don't display it, they don't talk about it, and they certainly don't try and force it on anyone. One is a lay preacher and I often talk to him at one of the local breweries we both frequent, yet he never brings religion up, he is not wearing garish christian bling. If he has a cross around his neck, it is under his shirt.
I understand your angst, caused by the minority that wear their religion on their sleeves, often wearing inappropriately large 'christian bling' outside their clothing (3" to 5" cross), and take any opportunity to talk about their beliefs, often in inappropriate settings (business meeting). These radicals really do little to forward their agenda or show christian in anything positive, and cast all christians in a negative light.
About 2 years ago there was a ballot item to change the state constitution to define marriage, and the preachers and supports line up on city hall steps (in front of TV news cameras, of course) spewing their hate and encouraging followers to take their hate into the voting booth. These are the people where my distaste for "religious folk" comes from.
Other rallies on the same city hall steps were from preachers and supporters opposed to the amendment, all holding the very same book in their hand.
OBTW, the amendment initiative did pass to change the state constitution, only to be struck down by the courts.
