I always miss the fun! Damn yard needing to be mowed.

Knowledge of God, I'd really like you to respond to this post.

It sums up very succinctly what I would say. You declined to respond to it earlier.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Procrastination is why it took 1.5 hours instead of 45 mins...

Well, we've gone eleven pages with the OP declining to even explain how he and his poor waif christian buddies- who are the dominant social force in most western countries- are being "oppressed."

KoG, you gonna actually have a cogent thought, or just continue to be an evasive dickwhistle? Dodgy
