First, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate them a lot. Second, I had
in mind those who bash Christian fundamentalists (and Christians in
general), implying in no uncertain terms that such "bible-thumpers" are
dumb hicks, a step below Neanderthals with Nazi tendencies. I won't name
names, but I'm sure you can detect those with an anti-religious bias by
reviewing some recent posts as well as the archives on this site.
