And, in fact, made a reply on a friend's wall on FB in response to comments that did exactly what you said. Tried to "own" religious belief and morality. I've had enough, and that attitude is insulting to me and the people who made me who I am, so I took on 2 men I went to high school with and had a 7 post volley in which I said more in 2 post than they could say in 5. My posts were also supported by various people passing by and met with great appreciation by the friend whose FB page it was.
