There is no need to cater to those atheists who like to chill the rights of everyone else by feigning offense. We respect their rights, and they should respect ours. Just look at what atheist evangelist Kevin says below. He is allegedly offended that Konkani, an age old language, does not have an atheist greeting! I can similarly claim that I am offended that he is offended. So, where does that leave us? Why doesn't he simply come up with something that satisfies him? > --- Gabriel de Figueiredo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
