   Yes, and the ones you're relying on are where, again ... ?

   Anyone who questions your arguments is running a "theocracy" now? Say,
you wouldn't happen to work for Jack Chick, would you?

> Question Authority!

   And why should I necessarily do that on *your* say so?

   This reminds me of the old saying: "I'm a non-conformist - just like
everyone else". It seems you've fallen into a groove of providing easily
made assertions, and run away when asked to back them up with anything
more meaningful. It's easy to dislike big powerful institutions like the
Catholic church, but it's wrong not to have your arguments ready for
presentation when taken to task.

   You *do* realize that opinion and fact are often two different things,
yes?

   It's even harder to be right. Let's see you make an effort.
