I don't think I'm doing that at all, and I don't think it's a fair reading of what I've said. What do you expect, to just be able to make a blanket statement on a
debate forum and not have it be challenged by people who disagree? If you don't want to respond to what I post, feel free not to.

You said religion is about control. You act like I'm shoehorning in something irrelevant when I'm simply responding to what you said and stating why I think it's wrong-headed. If that's not the kind of discussion we're on this forum to have, what are we doing here?
If what you want to have is a left-wing securalist echo chamber, feel free to say so and I'll do my best to remember that request and just address my comments to other posters in the future.
