You're the only person using the word "harping," but that doesn't really matter. What matters is: do you really not understand how insulting it is to assign viewpoints to people you don't know, and in addition, who have told you they don't actually hold such viewpoints? I've seen you get a little upset about the same thing; why is it ok for you to do that?
Regarding Christmas celebrations, which were admitted, my response in question explained briefly what my opinion was of atheism and evolution, are you suggesting I haven't had my fair portion of similar opposing viewpoints? I think we each accept that at times it will get heated.

I don't like using terminology like that because it can be misleading and restrictive. I know it can also be useful, but still. I believe in the Bible's creation account which I guess you could call OEC Creationist.
I'm going to introduce a new thread in the Christian forum this evening on that very subject if you would be interested in discussing it further, or just check it out.

What is a deity?
