That's the point you see...the giant wall of text makes reading it such an eye and mind strain, that you run the risk of people simply bypassing what you're saying in the same way that people will bypass a random nonsense post without responding to it.

Well, since they said "What I don't like is "religious people who X"" and you said "What I don't like is "non-religious people who X"" (Note, neither of you said or even necessarily implied you think -all- religious or non-religious people are like that) Neither of you is being a hypocrite.

There -are- religious people who blindly follow what they are told without questioning it (I've met several) And there -are- non-religious people who buy in to the "all religious people are ignorant buffoons" mindset (I've met several of those too) so you are actually both perfectly justified in making the statements you made. Can't we all just get along?

Ironically, you're the only one who actually made an absolute statement that what people have been doing is speak in absolutes *grin*

See, that this kind of statement gets made is what gives credence to what Mblavis7 says. I spent 15 years in Catholic schools, and while you learn about Catholicism, I'm pretty sure that if you don't believe in Catholicism you aren't kicked out. (Heck, we actually had a protestant religion teacher for a while) You are in fact allowed to think critically about the faith and draw your own conclusions.

If you have religious/religion teachers, or your school has a chaplain who is remotely competant, they should be encouraging such thinking, and questioning.
