You can make all the allusions to cults you want. You can make any slanderous remarks you want comparing the evil actions of some that call themselves religious and applying that to the whole. It is wrong that some atheists and religious people somehow attempt to put peoples of both types in silos that can never interact in a passionate and rational manner.
I am often quite disappointed in your comments, Cheese. I respect your beliefs and I am quite sure that you are a logical and reasonable person. However, you don't seem content with that, instead settling for the slander and humiliation of another group of people.

Wow...thems pretty big words peter. Make damned sure you understand what the heck you are talking about before you get yourself in trouble.
SLANDER - A false defamation (expressed in spoken words, signs, or gestures) which injures the character or reputation of the person defamed; distinguished from libel.
Prove the Slander...because claiming slander is a serious proposition and I dont take lightly to anyone using these types of words. I havent lied about anything...I never made a false declaration about you OR religion in a defamatory nature. Its you who are making the claims that cant be proven sir and if you cant discuss these things without throwing crap like this against the wall then you shouldnt get into the discussions.
