I don't give a flying fuck about his "One True and Universal Church", as you call it. That, my friend, is your problem, not mine. And there lies the difference between us. I support working together as decent human beings, reaching out to help each other in need. You, otoh, only want to attack and divide at any opportunity. And that is really sad, because your energy could be used positively. But it's a free world and your choice.
I wonder how you would have responded to Dr King. Would he have been your target, had you been around back then, or would you have marched alongside the believers and swallowed your atheistic pride?
