I'm all for letting people be what they want to be - whatever that is...as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
I'm not an apologist for any church, group, or association that treats people poorly...including the KKK.
But there are good/bad christians...and bad/good atheists...and extremists on both sides...
I'll think I'll just ...mosey along.

Hey Dee, that really was not intended as an attack on your personally. I really think the world of you, and you have my sincerest apologies.
My intent to was to show how deep and thorough the discrimination really is - that it can be dismissed with comparative ease in favor of . . . just not confronting the problem. I know there are extremists on both sides. I probably am an "extremist atheist" as surely as feminists in the 60s were extremists - and for the same reason. Because change isn't going come gently, peacefully, without hurting anybody's feelings and without seriously disrupting people's belief systems. I also realize that this is not the ideal place to be talking about such things, but there really is no ideal place.
And I do apologize for hurting
your feelings. Sorry.
