Whatever makes you happy. Me, I am counting slowly backwards from
one hundred and reminding myself of the subject line I wrote:
"choosing one's fights." :) If nontheists were being stoned to death
in the streets of the US, I might deserve your label. I haven't seen
that happening. Must be that goshdarned theistic press controlled by
that theistic power elite suppressing the truth, huh?

I repeat that I think a sheaf of strategies is useful; if you don't,
that's human, and I can deal. Doctrinaire *anything* makes my skin itch.
