Thanks for the comment. I do my best to be concise, but often fail at the task.

I wish it were becoming less common, but frankly, its become fashionable in some circles in Europe and here mostly left of center. Its not nearly enough to be atheist, you have to be vocally anti-theist.

Not my kind of liberalism, but plenty frequent among gay men who blame organised religion for the cultural bigotry that infected family, friends and community and themselves. They never see organised religion as victimized by that cultural bigotry as much as every other institution. If family, friends and community can get passed racism, sexism and homophobia, why can't houses of worship? They sometimes can and have! I see this trend as divisive of the left with Christian, Jewish and Muslem left on one end feeling defensive and threatened and the agnostic- secular humanist - atheists on the other. The left will get no where on any issues that way! End of rant!

I can't understand the bias Maten has - particularly against religion! Thanks for the rep!

What can I say - you just happen to show up in the right place with the perfect remark! ;-)

It may not be a duet, but it is a true art form with Mischa, and the late Gregory Hines;

You're welcome - I can only say that threads like that are very unusual here. I was absolutely sickened by it! Thanks for the rep!
