[kj] (OT) The Religion of Peace, Love and Understanding

[Bette Dillinger]

Isn't virulent atheism just as much an issue as virulent Christian Fundamentalism?  And I triple dare Mr Dawkins to do the same with Islam.  I have no vested interest in any point of view, so I will just pop the popcorn and watch the fireworks.
 

Fundamentalism of any kind is the sign of a fundamentally disturbed mind.
