373. I am not anti-religious

And I frequently use quotation marks to set off phrases rather than actual quotes. I've been doing this for years and nobody has ever complained about it I do it especially when using my phone on the internet, where it can be awkward to use italics with my fat slow thumbs. This is an acceptable usage. I checked my Chicago Manual of Style which sits on my bookshelf and gave you the section reference to you so you can look for it yourself.

But I understand, it's much easier to argue an obscure point of grammar(where your opponent is being the obscure one) hoping that your audience does not actually know or care about the Chicago Manual of Style, than it is to actually address the substance of the post. A post, by the way, which itself consisted entirely of Bible quotes not paraphrases, yet you chose to ignore them entirely. Are you also one of those people who only reads the headlines and ignores the articles?

And you can criticize my grammar until the cows come home, you'll still be wrong. My grammar is very good, it's part of my job, and that's why I have style manuals on my bookshelf. What's on your bookshelf?

And even if you were right about the grammar, you don't actually want to talk about what I meant to say (even if it is wrong) you just want to find people to label anti-religious, which I am not. I am only against right wing fundamentalist religion. Liberal religion is okay by me.
