Maleing? Mmmm ..... now hang on a minute, B00. Who says I couldn't be tempted? ;o)))
I'll explain why I say these people are dangerous. Apart from knowing people personally whose strict religious upbringings have scarred them mentally for life, and some whose futures, marriages, and homes, have been destroyed by the effects of religion, I once returned to my office from lunch to find the place in utter chaos with all my younger members of staff hysterical and in floods of tears because an older staff member - a bible-thumping Christian - had gathered them together and told them that unless they were 'Born Again', they were doomed to hellfire for eternity. Some of those young girls literally clung to me begging me to tell them it wasn't true. I've never forgotten that dreadful day - and that is one of the reasons I will always challenge this hateful, evil philosophy. The fact is people of religion know no more about life - or death - than anyone else, and yet they are arrogant enough to consider themselves qualified to preach to others regardless of the damage that may do. That might be acceptable to those who are incapable of distinguishing rational challenge from 'counter-preaching', but in my 'book' it is not acceptable and it never will be.
