He cannot realise that he needs to exclude the religiously anti-God on the same premise because that requires logic and understanding applied equally. So, having excluded properly the face and obverse sides of the coin we are left with the miniscule component of the side, or about 1-2 mm of surface, on which to role the government of the great unwashed. This coneptualization has a certain resonance with both Communism in theory and practice as well as Fascism and status-based social orders. It is the ever-popular, we know what is best and you will do it school of thought. It is equally employed by all sides. I guess you could say I'm agnostic about the statement when made by any other than myself!

No. I'm saying that all opinions should be expressed and considered respectfully without pigeon-holing a poster into a comfortable little stereotype so that you don't have to deal with the tough questions and the real issues.

And with respect in mind, that's all I'll say in response on this one.
