I, for instance, have an entire life separate of this echo. I have many
things that I can stay busy doing. With the attack dog gone for however
long he decides, I am able to forget this silly place.

That won't happen.

Well, there's that thing about tolerance and diversity they keep going on
about. Although, I haven't witnessed either WRT Christianity.

There's that tolerance and diversity thing again. Only for thee and not for
me and all that.

Bingo.

They are just "defending" themselves.

 TR> Yet, you scream for a president's or a secretary of defense's head if a U.S.

few civilians.

Another bingo.

You have him nailed.

Their mere existence is enough for the Sauers of the world to cheer their death.

 TR> Bit I never see you or your friends condemn the radical Imams of Islam who
 TR> send these terrorists out to murder people indiscriminately!
Without regard to

That would require consistency from Sauer and his ilk.

 TR> You and your butt buddy come in here and revile someone because
they belong to

Well, you know how dangerous I am.

 TR> Your credibility as a `religion' critic, along with your butt buddy, is non-

Uh oh, you read their play book.

 TR> Cassell altered the rules to eliminate the hate spasms HolySmoke

And you see how well those changes were received.

That's his normal level.

Heh heh heh... and they usually kick him to the curb.

 TR> You don't `discuss' religion on an intellectual level.....mainly because you
 TR> do not possess an intellect!

Nor the knowledge.

LOL!
