5. Hey Cbayer, whatever happened to "respecting peoples deeply held religious beliefs"?

Not that I agree with or support WBC, "respecting peoples deeply held religious beliefs" was a point you hammered on for a long time.

Are you over that now?

6. “Deeply Held Religious Beliefs” for the most part. I’ll say it again for the most part"

are the reason this planet is so fucked up.

7. I can't completely disagree, but my point was more about being a hypocrite.

It is interesting how one can call for "respecting peoples deeply held religious beliefs" in one post, then mock and disparage peoples deeply held religious beliefs in another. The dictionary calls that hypocrisy. YMMV.

8. You made yourself absolutely clear..

Just tagging....
