"I hold religion to be a deeply personal issue, and never a public one. Those who would espouse their religion, faith or superstitions upon the public, are to be more feared than terrorists at large."

Please do yourself the service of copying quotes in context. You missed the part that said:

For terrorists know they are doing evil to obtain their ends. Religious fanatics, on the other hand, believe that their actions are inherently 'good', even as they trample the rights, dignity and lives of those they wish to 'save'

That way, you won't look so foolish. By the way, in what possible way does that thought lend it's way to this article??? On what planet does this personal attack lend itself to produce a logical, deductive arguement?

Your quotes are there for all to see. They are hardly a personal attack. You are proud of them. They do discredit you though because, either you don't really mean what you write, or you really do think President George W. Bush (who espouses his religion in public) is "more to be feared" than Osama Bin Laden (terrorist at large).

With your comments, people get to read the disclaimer before buying the product. I would thereby take anything you write about Kobe Bryant with a grain of salt.
