"I am not insulted when one disrespects or insults my religion, or even when they disrespect or insult me. I see it more as a reflection of the person who is doing the insulting, stay confident in my own feelings, and move on with my life. I think if more people treated it like that we wouldn't have so much 'offense' and all this attempt toward 'political correctness' would go away".
This is a discussion forum. If you feel offended, injured or insulted by the mere expression a well thought out logical opinion, why even partake is such discussions? Why not retreat completely into your warm, cozy and comfortable "faith" ? ? ?
Alcoholics retreat into drunkeness. Drug addicts retreat into their drug induced stupors. The ultra religious allways have their "Devine Revelation" to comfort them. The rest of us will continue to live in the real world, and apply our brains to all lifes challenges, ailments, mysteries and beauties.

The existance of a "God" is a moral impossibility.
