      When someone says Jesus is the only savior, or when someone says the Pokemon God is the One True God.. there is no reason to get offended by either. No person has been insulted or poked fun of... just certain beliefs about life. As Dawkins says, it's like insulting your favorite baseball team or your favorite political candidate. It should not be a personal thing.

      The member who started it all by making a religious statement was new, or so I think, and was probably just not in tune yet with our forum's policy of keeping serious religious expression to the R/S forum. Meh.

      I think we are at about that point in this type of thread, so I will say it. The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

      How the HELL could that Posssibly offend you unless it was directed AT you by someone trying to convert you?!

      Get a life or grow a spine, man.
