You know the type -- they literally burn albums. I think all those fumes from the melting vinyl have seriously upset their equilibrium.

I'm sorry for your bad experiences. However, I just want everyone to remember that:
a) these people haven't claimed to be of any religious affiliation; for all we know they are "pagans" too. Frankly, they sound too young and stupid to have made any informed religious decisions.
b) I haven't met any evil faux religious people from the board either, but even if I had, I certainly wouldn't take their claims of religion seriously. They are definitely not reflective of Christianity as a whole, no more than Osama Bin Laden is reflective of Islam. And, sadly, I believe in "real life" it is also possible to find some folks who are "pagan" and not so nice. It is an unfortunate fact of life that evil can find a place in every imaginable categorization of people. So why give people labels like that?
Finally, I've never heard anyone with half a brain, religious or not, claim that Stevie eats babies!! These folks obviously are not the sharpest pencils in the box, to put it mildly. Why springboard off of them to criticize others?
