[Rhodes22-list] Herb's Response

Hey Herb.  I don't see how you make the connection that anything Slim wrote
applies to you.  I think your sense of insult is a little to refined this
morning.

Someone way down the thread opined that a person can't have morals without
religion.  There have been a couple of well-thought posts that explain
differing opinions.  That's okay.  There's no matter of proof of right or
wrong; that's the nature of opinion.

Ben

I'm sorry Slim, you've lost me. Who on here has ever proposed that 
"religion is some sort of guarantee or even a hint that a person is 
righteous"?

You keep making asinine assumptions about me, and my ideas. I think it's 
high time you put up or shut up. Frankly, you've made it obvious, you 
don't care for religion, but that doesn't mean you have to hate folks 
that are religious. No one here, especially myself, has ever made any 
sort of claim as you propose below. For that matter, nor do I give 
exclusively to my church, nor is my church, or denomination, a 
"fundamentalist" one, or any number of other nonsensical things you've 
claimed about me.

For what it's worth, your assumptions about me, and about my beliefs, 
are wrong. If you would drop your preconceived ideas about me, stop 
attributing ideas and attitudes to me that aren't mine, and stop 
attacking everything I say simply because I say it, you might find what 
I actually DO say and think a lot less "objectionable".

I suspect you won't. I suspect you have your own bigotries and 
prejudices. Shame on the folks that caused them, but shame on you for 
holding them so dear.

Now, prove me wrong, I dare you.
