2. Well, as someone is sure to tell you, you're preaching to the "choir" here.

Some people excuse almost anything from their fellow religionists. They don't speak out about people who "believe," for some reason or another. Instead, they make strange, logic-free arguments and cast all religion as a "good for society" sort of thing.

Any argument to the contrary results in accusations of "ganging up" on religion by those who disbelieve. You won't find those people saying that those conservative, right-wing Christians are wrong, even. They won't fight their destructive ideas, but will make some sort of generalized argument in favor of religion. Any religion. Whatever religion. It's all "good," see.

Actually, such folks are outnumbered in this open forum designed for the discussion of Religion, but they're vocal as can be about their "tolerance" for anything religious in nature. Some regular visitors to this Group point that out to them, and get called names for doing so.

Thanks for stopping in. Pull up a pew and have a seat. Join in the conversation. We have openings in the "choir," too, if that interests you.
