Of course. Silly me. I should have recognized that you are doing nothing more than faithfully, er, reliably carrying the banner of Truth. With the pink unicorn logo in the corners.

I didn't think that your words were indecent because they attacked religion, it was the lack of compassion I saw in them. Seriously, William, what about compassion? Do you have or wish to have any compassion for the victims of this event? What do you think of compassion in general, outside of the context of religion? I'm not trying to argue for religion -- your beliefs are your business and you are welcome to them. I am curious what you think about compassion, however. Does it not apply in this situation? Ever?
