Reply #35: I see that

[manic expression]

and I understand that (the image of firebrand, fundamentalist Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists and Shintoists cracked me up).

However, sometimes I think people, when rejecting Judeo-Christian dogma, reject religion itself. This is a natural reaction, and it may be best for some people, but it may mean that they are missing out on something they might agree with. I'll just be content with coming from a different perspective altogether.

Very concise explanation, by the way.
