But someone else's faith is not the issue. The issue was a categorical statement that faith was a requirement for excellence in composition. If someone said that membership in the Roman Catholic church was required for US citizenship, and I responded "Bullsh*t!" I don't think anyone would interpret that as any kind of attack on the Catholic church or on Catholics themselves. It's only a vigorous dispute of the assertion about the prerequisite of one for the other. This isn't about religion. It's about self-evidently nonsensical statements being presented approvingly in a discussion forum. -- David W.
