REB, you misread
I don't profess black and white attitudes. What I was saying is, with these absolutists that I was describing, that is their attitude. You should know me better than that by now.
Here's a good rule to go by in the future. If Tom's railing against something I post, I've probably unearthed some truth he's not confortable with and he's worried someone's scored a point that doesn't belong to his team. Just because he's getting defensive about something said about religious fundamentalism does not mean I'm painting all Christians as worthy of contempt, just the asshole ones. I don't consider you and most others on this board to fall into that category.
