You don’t know this about me, but I go to Church and am seriously considering being baptized. I have no problem with statements of faith. I am only responding to this particular statement which, for some reason, annoys me. Don’t I have a right without having to take full responsibility for an entire faith? To me, religion is so personal and to use it as Brit did here rubbed me the wrong way.

if it ‘rubbed you the wrong way,’ then so be it.

it did not do so for countless others.

so there is reality in a democracy.

happy new year.

Sure thing. I thought you were Jewish, and I get tired of the stuff from Medved, etc. about the perceived obstreperousness of rightwing Christians. Of course, it's used to ridicule conservatives. I know a few ersatz libertarians that vote Obama just because they're embarrassed to be associated with such rustics.
