Visit any activist website and you are likely to find extremist opinions not held by the mainstream.
So why are the opinions of these people so important if they are not held by the mainstream? If they are not held by the mainstream, which I would agree, why are their agendas influencing our culture so greatly?
I didn't say Michaelangelo was a human secularist (which would obviously be wrong), I said he was a humanist. That is the actual word you used yourself.
Michelangelo would faint if you informed him that he was a humanist. He, along with other artists and craftsmen of his time and even a good few hundred years previous, are responsible for some of the greatest religious artworks known to mankind.

The Creation of Adam
Read the Humanist Manifesto, there are 3 parts to date, beginning in 1933. Human Secularism relies heavily on the ideologies of the humanist manifesto. Humanists would bulldoze the Cistene Chapel if given the opportunity, just as they have worked very hard to make works of this nature unavalable in the public sphere within our time.
It would be a lot more pleasant to talk with you if you could refrain from taking pot-shots at people.
Potshots?
Maybe you are upset about some things some people have said, but why not try to discuss them and give your own opinions without the constant offensive personal remarks.
What upsets me is the lack of information that you use to present your opinions. Your opinions by themselves do not upset me even in the least. When, however, you consistenly use misinformation to prop them up in ways that make you feel good about yourself and then continue to argue without actually researching your own credibilty, it is frustrating to say the least.
I do not require an apology.
No, you truly do not, at least not from anyone else. You might however inquire as to the possibilty of an apology to yourself for not exploring the basis' of your own misleading ideas which you are very quick to hold to and to present and surely must cause you much embarrassment not only here but elsewhere.
Regarding education, it should concern you greatly. Especially in light of the fact that this problem does not simply affect you or I, but it is more than apparent in doctors and dentists under the age of 35 also. It does not apply to every single one of course, there are always those who will escape trends of this nature, but it does apply to a large majority unfortunately.
It has never been my intention to offend you. Yet you consistently take offense to views that oppose your own and to information presented in proper context that opposes your own misinformation.
My opinion is really not all that important which is why I do not offer it very often. I would rather hope you would be able to see that your own opinions are greatly influenced by a lack of information... a position which you seem to enjoy holding onto that relies on misinformation.
As concerns things like sit down shut up etc Pwcc, that even is not my opinion. I would never treat anyone like that. Why you are unable to get it by now I really do not know. That, as I told you originally, is the attitude presented to school chlidren by people from the homosexual community who desire more than anything to present their unpopular views in an environment that is generally hostile to those views because, as Linda stated, theirs is not the mainstream but rather very much a minority view. Yet they continue to try to force it upon us. And the attitude yes, is one of sit down shut up and listen, I should add, whether you like it or not.
