I'm not writing you off because you believe differently, I'm not even writing you off because you upheld the rights of despots and tyrants the world over with a single sentence. I'm simply making sure that this doesn't slip by, greased by pious indignation and appeals to some mutual respect that you cannot possibly maintain after that single remark (not that you stopped there.......ffs).
Oh! Ok I get it. Didn't realize we were appealing to a mutual respect.
Also no, atheism itself I find scary. The idea of no God in ways depresses me. But again, I don't want to open that discussion up and derail the thread, so I'll leave the topic alone from here on out.
