Tynan you maintain that you do not need mythology and fables to act decently towards others but the point is that in saying Jesus is a cock you are not acting decently towards others. You play dumb and pretend that that this is not hurtful to any one. Sure taking offense is not the same as experiencing physical harm but can you maintain that words cannot be hurtful ? do you really need for me to illustrate to you where insensitivity towards someones religion has caused real deep hurtful offense? All very well to sit atop of that high horse of yours looking down at all us weak & superstitious mortals but your comment caused me offense for one.

I dont remember Tynan saying he was on that high horse, only you put him there.
