It's the "I'm religious* so my views are immune to human rights/evidence and should have a special place in government" that annoys me.

If you're interested in a well argued counter to your view* then give this a listen :

A Point of View - The Religion of Rights - @bbcradio4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b092gkks

Definitely not where I'd usually sit. But I'm trying harder to take on board differing views. The 100mph nutters that make up the right and inarticulate angry rants of *c*onservatives make it hard, so it's always good when you come across something more normal.

*or at least what I assume your views are

Probably 10 minutes of puking for me based on the synopsis. Human rights is not a religion...but yep it's good to try other views. I'll try it.

Though he's correct rights have to be claimed...I somehow don't think it'll include a strong view that therefore legal aid must be available to all :p
