- Since your post wasn't directed at any specific person, I'll interpret it as
- being aimed at anyone who reads this newsgroup, and I take it upon myself to
- contribute the following information:
-
- - Speaking for myself, the mention of religion does not scare me. I'm not
- religious myself; that is my own choice to make, and I've made it. I have
- friends - close friends - who are religious. They don't scare me, and I don't
- normally scare them.
-
- - I do not think very highly about oppression of religion, unless the religion
- in question involves such questionable practices as human sacrifice or other
- unethical acts. However, I do not think very highly about oppression BY
- religion, either. In fact, I'll say I'm willing to "oppress" anyone whose
- religion involves oppressing me. I do not see this as oppressing _religion_,
- however, it is a matter of self-defense against _individual human beings_.
-
- - Further information: The exclusive use of capital letters in your post is
- an eyesore, and I suggest you learn how to use the capslock key (or whatever it
- may be labelled on your keyboard). Also, the title of your post makes very
- little sense. I, for one, cannot locate my "ALL UPSET", nor do I recall ever
- having such a thing. In fact, I don't even know what an "ALL UPSET" is.
- In other words, bozo: Learn how to use the apostrophe.
-
- Since your post appears to have originated from a computer belonging to an
- American educational facility, I would also like to point out that you should
- be ashamed of yourself for exhibiting such an embarrasing lack of command of
- the official language of your own country, which is probably also your own native
- language. (If my assumptions here are incorrect, I apologize - but I don't think
- they are.) Did you graduate from high school, without even learning your own
- language? Or what?
