[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2295708, member: 10619"] I could have misunderstood where you were going with this, but I want to offer a response. Sometimes I come across as an evangelical atheist. For the most part, my actions and those from others like me, are defensive, not offensive. Religion is a relationship between an individual and his god(s), and it belongs in the hearts and minds of those individuals, their families, their homes, and/or their churches. It has no place in our public schools or Government. When Christians complain about prayer being removed from public schools, they're complaining because their offensive move of pushing prayer into public schools have been blocked. If there is any intolerance, it's come from the offensive line, not defensive. Plus, it's not that prayer is banned from public schools, it's just that schools aren't allowed to hold dedicated prayer service. If a child wants to bring his bible and read scriptures and pray during down time, there are no moves blocking such activities. When "libtards" fight for gay equality, they're defensively pushing back against a Christian offense that has forced their ideals into public law. Again, a place where it doesn't belong. When people fight for this equality, they're labeled as intolerant towards Christians, when in fact, it's Christian intolerance that started the fight in the first place. Again, maybe that's not at all where you were going with this. If not, I apologize for rambling on about something completely off-topic from your statement. [/QUOTE]
