Taken in that context, it was received with laughs, as evidenced by some of the comments.

I'm Catholic and thought it was cute. And I've seen you defend denominations that have been attacked, and I've always appreciated it. Peace.
You were wise, Senator. I could not understand how someone would take offense at either of our comments, but I figured, "Hey. Ya never know. Maybe he is remarkably adherent to his religion and is very touchy. So let me err on the side of carefulness and sensitivity."
Then Urbana bin Guerilla reveals he is agnostic, and thusly displays the only reason he is here is to cause strife. He is a Helmet-head of the highest order.
Hey Bin Guerilla: I take back any apology directed in YOUR direction. Anyone else who might have been offended -- and no one has indicated so yet -- the apology attains. But to a trouble-seeking missile like yourself -- masticate this.
