[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by n2mopac First, I'm not sure what we generally mean here by "religious fanatic." If you mean the type of "religion" that promotes violence under the heading, "believe as I do or die," Then I believe there is no place for that in the world. That gives God a bad name under any regligious heading. These people, however, make up less than 1/2% of any religion I am aware of in the world. If, however, we mean a person of deep religious conviction or one who is theologically conservative, then I must point out a couple of things. First, has anyone noticed that while this thread has contained numerous rantings agains religious people, there have been virtually no responses by people defending religious expression. I find this interesting. I believe it is evidence of a great paranoya that exists in American culture by non-religious people that seem to believe that there is a religious conservative lurking around the corner waiting to pounce on them. I also must say, speaking as a theological conservative myself and coming from a family, community, and religious background of conservatives, that I would venture to gress that most of those ranting about the attempted oppression by religious people of the non-religious world have never personally know or perhaps even met a real religious conservative themselves. They express only a view of religious people as it is distorted and twisted my the media and the extreme opinions of those who seek to destroy religious conservativism. I think we all know how accurate such depicitons of any person or group can be. The descriptions and accusations I see and here even in this thread bear little or no resemblance to the people I know and love now and throughout my lifetime. I say, if you're going to rant, get some first-hand knowledge of what you're talking about first. Ron P.S. Has anyone botherd to notice that the originator of this post has never bothered to chime in again. And has anyone bothered to go back and look for the alleged "gospel preaching" that he accused others of. I went searching and I could find NONE. Y'all who so hate to discuss "religion" but have chimed into this thread have been had. I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you.
