22. Peace to you, too
But I agree with the previous posters who've said that, to them, religion is just another fairy tale. I find it heard to respect someone who believes such inanities. Just like I would have a problem with the credibility of someone who denied the holocaust, or global warming, or is a far-out conspiracy theorist, or believes they were abducted by aliens.

Read Carl Sagan's "Demon-Haunted World" and you'll sense where I'm coming from.

I bear you no ill will, I respect your right to believe whatever you want. But, to me, and to many others, these "anti-religion" comments come just as naturally, and logically, as the ubiquitous anti-* comments. It's just obvious to me.

And, I know it's been said before, but if you're the one making the claim that some deity exists, then the burden of proof is on you.
