No unfounded conspiracy theories, which is what you seem to revel in, present

I think one can debate against religion without having to use the word "fuck"
40000 times and express other useless emotions that are not anywhere near the
realm of reality.

Even Mr Wilson has noticed that..

Sorry John, now poor Judith is gonna call you "Kolgor, The destroyer of echoes"

Yet it is illegal to steal, murder, assault...

Irrelevant tho, every person has a voice in govt, you have every right to
address your grievances and desires to govt to get laws enacted, changed or
repealed.

Your paint brush is too broad.

Sorry, I dont have a database with a list of all the childish nicknames and
handles that you children employ... In a previous message you mentioned a
domain name that I recognized as being one that you use as a blog.

Welcome Back Judith.

Never had an atheist identify themselves as such...

Here is what knocks on my door in the name of solicitation:

* Girl Scouts peddling cookies

* Jehovahs Witness, never had one not take no for an answer.

* Rain Gutter, Painting or Other Home Improvement contractors peddling 
services.

You see Judith, I dont care what religion one has so long as they, like you
prefer, keep it out of my face, I dont mind them asking so long as they accept
no for an answer. I however do not interrogate people as to what they believe
or disbelieve, perhaps since I do work with the public, I have learned to be
more tolerant and respectful?

If indeed you are Judith, I am surprised and not surprised..

A.

The Charleston area of South Carolina is the liberal end of the state.

B.

But you did have them street preachers in Beaufort.

As to your problem, get a big dog!
