Over the last few days we have also seen some pretty radical Christian activism occuring in the CB. Which leads me to ask why it is that we who do not take offence at these remarks (either by virute of not being Chritian or not being insecure enough to take offence) should be expected to take into account the sensitivities and sensibilities of one group.

Direct personal attacks are not okay, in my mind. On that point I have to agree with radiantmatrix and I would also agree that I must have a thicker skin than some here.

What I really find offensive of late is the blatant Bible thumping hate mongers that are starting to appear here attacking others for their fraternal associations, beliefs and customs.
