Excuse me, why am I in that list?

What are my stated opinions on religion? See posts like [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=155047|http://z.iwethey.org...?contentid=155047] to see them stated.

Ah. Right.

Religiously mandated violence is a symptom, not a cause. And I supported that with the example of one of the worst genocides in the 20'th century - done by people who were at least nominally atheistic.

As for why I didn't say more in that thread, I long ago lost my taste for certain arguments about religion. I do not feel the need to speak on every issue where I have an opinion. But my silence should not generally be construed as agreement with any given position.

Cheers,
Ben

You're right -- I owe you an apology

I'm not sure why I got it in my head you were endorsing Mike's post. Again, I apologize.
