I'm not into celebrating religious mumbo-jumbo be it cross-nailing or res-erections.

I'm a chocolate addict, but had to limit my intake a few years ago due to allergy problems, ho hum.

At Easter I git meeself a block of good ol' Cadbury's Diary Milk (none of that Nestle's muck for me) to eat over Easter and some red'n'bloody snags to barbeburn on Good Friday.

PS: Give me an Easter Bunny to roast any day. Yummoy!!

Special Delivery,

You made this pejorative comment about Christianity or those who believe in God: "A planet of morons not knowing how to wipe their backsides but professing to know 'Gods" wishes, but don't have his address or telephone no".

Could you please help me to understand what motivates this kind of antagonism to theists?

Have you had bad experiences with individual Christians, churches or some other religious group? Is it too harsh to say that you have some "hate" of these people?

I'd appreciate if you could help me to understand where this heat is coming from.

Heat is energy that is transferred from a warmer substance or object to a cooler one.

Toni,

<<Heat is energy that is transferred from a warmer substance or object to a cooler one.>>

That's avoidance and tells me nothing concerning the origin of your anti-Christian heat.

Rhetorical heat involves the use of rhetorical devices designed to powerfully affect listeners or readers. Seems to me those heat inducing rhetorical devices are being used by you.

//That's avoidance//

Nope, it's thermodynamics. Can't tell the difference? Yeah, I'm not surprised.

//and tells me nothing concerning the origin of your anti-Christian heat.//

It's produced by the slow-combustion of pamphlets from evangelical door-knockers. They're always happy to give you as many as you want for free (presumably because nobody else wants them), so it's a great way to save on heating costs.

//Rhetorical heat involves the use of rhetorical devices designed to powerfully affect listeners or readers.//

Rhetorical heat, eh? Well that's a new one. And what an appallingly stupid turn of phrase that is. What's wrong with using the word 'rhetoric' to mean rhetoric? My gods, the torturous depravations that people inflict on the English language just want to make you want to weep sometimes.

//Seems to me those heat inducing rhetorical devices are being used by you.//

Um, yeah. Of course I use rhetoric. Who doesn't use rhetoric? You're not trying to claim that you don't rely on rhetoric, are you?
