Personally, I would have voted to hide it.

I'm just so freaking tired of seeing snide comments like that one at DU from people who look down their noses at anyone who believes in a God or even thinks there just might possibly be something out there that is beyond human understanding. Atheists frequently complain about the intolerance they encounter due to their views, and I tend to synpathize... but I really don't understand why some of them are so quick to target others with their own brand of intolerance.

Seems a bit hypocritical to me. But what do I know? I'm just one of those stupid people who believe in an imaginary skydaddy. (Actually, I don't believe in THAT, but I'm no an atheist, either, so according to some atheists, I am stupid nonetheless.)
