I've spent a bit of time reading the comments and your wonderful responses. I really admire you ability to remain so calm in the face of such awful bigotry and non-nonsensical comments.

What I fine truly ironic is that such hate can come from those who preach and "believe" in love. I realise how lucky I am to live in a country where I am not denounced for my lack of belief.

Thanks again :o)

I am a strong believer in separation of religion and government, and I feel truly sad for those who are not able to speak their thoughts for fear of government retaliation. But I think the first step toward getting more governments to not judge is to get more people to not judge, and that is turning out to be quite a task.
