You're right, Aliantha. And when a minority of them do something stupid, that's no reason to hammer all of them or all religions that aren't your* own.
Blanket assertions and unjust accusations are never all right.

While I respect your right to your own opinion Bruce, I don't see rkz as hammering all religions that aren't his own. I see him arguing the case for separation of state and church. Yes he does it all over the place, and yeah it can be tiresome sometimes (even though I agree with him totally) but this forum has touted itself on allowing people the right to state their views as long as it's not to the detrimet of other members.

As has been said to many others here before, if you don't like it, put him on ignore or simple disregard his posts. It's pretty simple.

As long as someone does not use their religion to harm others... no sweat.

Me too, if it stopped there and didn't make outrageous claims about child abuse.

You still don't get it do you? This isn't Speakers Square when anyone can take a turn on the soapbox and state views then toddle off home.

It you want to expound your philosophy write a book. If you bring it here, expect reaction and action in proportion to how off the wall your claims are.
No, you don't get to decide proportion, that's up to the offended.

I do get it Bruce.

The bit I don't get is why you're so upset. There's plenty of people on this forum with their own agenda. I don't understand why you consistantly attack the same people and let others go their own merry way. That's all.
