You evidently subscribe to the reality that

a fanatic

is someone who believes in something more strongly than you believe in whatever it is you believe in.

Actually, I tend to think of your espoused philosophy of life more as an avoidance of belief . . . a certain kind of philosophical timidity about eternal issues.

Which, certainly, from God's perspective, is still a decision--whether you want to own it, or not.

It is sad that you aren't better acquainted with our history from a more fair-minded perspective.

Another amusing comment. -- History is not "fair". Never has been. It is documented fact.
Our primary document refutes your view that the USA was founded on Christian values. Learn to live with it.

You are clearly the one having trouble living with the origin of the values in our founding documents.
I guess you need to try harder to deal with it and live with it. You have yet to respond to the essentials in the Mars analogy.

You guess a lot. -- See #157 for my comment on your inept analogy.

You evidently subscribe to the reality that a fanatic is someone who believes in something more strongly than you believe in whatever it is you believe in.

Another poor guess.

Dream on.
