Concise and piercingly clear. Thanks.

I fully agree with you, and I think that the majority of people of faith would agree as well.
But it's easy to find the least desirables of any group, they are the one's who are so cock sure of themselves that they feel the necessity of invoking their opinions in the loudest manner possible.
I'm not a broad brush sort of person, and try not to judge the dog by it's fleas.
The majority of people are pretty reasonable, otherwise society wouldn't function at all.

There you go being all reasonable & bipartisan, Chas. I'd throw all three of my votes your way if you wanted to run for office.
