Because I thought and still think it was a relevant point. Again, I never meant to imply that. I am sorry you took it that way. Hopefully, my clarification helped.

On edit - in my initial post I said (commentary supplied):

Quote:
Again, people just hate that other people have religion. And, on some level, I do not balme them because organized religion has oppressed people or made them feel oppressed for centuries.
which you quoted.

But, I then clarified by asking, not stating -

Quote:
Interestingly, I would like to know how many people here loathe that religion exists at all? I am not talking about money making organized religion. I am talking about the personal belief in a higher power, etc. How many people automatically smirk and have the unsupressable urge to mock that by calling naive or the believer a "fu*king idiot" while ignoring the repeated clarification by the poster. How is being that judgmental any different than the than judgemental nature assigned, incorrectly IMO, to Brandon?
I think that indicates that I was asking for comments and/or opinions into that thought process and whether it existed in this thread because the specific post I noted suggested that it did.

So, I do not think the implication was warranted. But and again, I did not mean what you say.
