You did both. And you've yet to support your opening statement with anything but bollocks about how "if I love the world" or "if I want to engage in rational debate" and a bunch of condemnations of religiously held opinions. I have no positive duty to save the world. That's the most idiotic thing you've said. And worse, you want me to save the world from people believing certain things and teaching their children to believe them. If that's the "crime of fundamentalism," then fuck you. More power to them. As long as privately held religious belief is not the cause of evil, it's none of my business. You and others here think simply having fundamentalist beliefs is evil, and have some silly argument that I'm turning a blind eye to evil by ignoring it. That's nonsense. And furthermore, the fact that I have different concerns than you, and different approaches to the problem, doesn't make me "part of the problem." This whole, "if you're not with us, you're against us" attitude of yours is more clearly a contributor.
Now, do you have anything but empty bile-laden rhetoric to back up your initial statement?
Asswipe.
