You made many points that I too thought to myself, and I think you put them across very reasonably.
I read these comments this morning, and spent the day thinking about it (here and there). And it made me realise that religious people, scare the shit out of me.
Have you ever seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers? If I happen to find myself amongst people of religion, I find it is sometimes easier to straight up ignore every person in the room and act absent minded (like I am too distracted to join in this conversation), than to actually say what I think. In my opinion, religious people have got to be the most intolerable people I've ever known. If you do not share their beliefs and ideals, you are not just left alone, bypassed, or even shunned. You are suddenly targetted, with fevor. And it either goes two ways: 1# You are wrong, repent and join us and you will be saved. 2# You are wrong, burn in hell, for eternity.
And they won't stop until you are long gone. And even then I am sure they mutter...
