And the only thing I don't understand is why you feel free to disrespect me (in the name of free speech) in the same breath that you squawk about my disagreeing with you. Are you the only one entitled to free speech? I'm not out of my lane because the group is titled Religion, not Anti-Religion for Atheists Only. Were it the latter, I wouldn't trouble you. But it's not.

Matter of fact, since I have made my point already, regardless of your refusal to see or accept it, I'm moving on for now. Got better things to do. Dad always said only a jackass answers every donkey that brays.
