I see what direction you're coming from. Anyway I was just taking a

equally to the two religions, I think). I'm sure that's valid topic
material.

Look out :-) I've said that before and had to eat my words. Sooner
or later a comment or question will come up which will snatch your
tongue out from between your biting teeth!
