My point exactly.

I posted two videos. What more do you want?

And your right. I have nothing other then my gut feeling that she is a religious radical. Why I am not trying to convince anyone else of it. It's just how I feel, and I have every right to feel that way.

I don't take issue with you thinking I am wrong about her bring radical. I take issue with you suggesting that the way I feel about her reflects on how I feel about anyone religious.

How I feel about her is how I feel about anyone who is a religious radical. I put very few people in that category.

 As for the videos: Those videos show, if anything, how normal she is.  Back when they were released over a year ago I got a good laugh out of how frightened those who have very little experience with formal religious settings were by it.  But the truth is people fear and mistrust things they don't fully understand.  Perhaps you have some experience with it, but your experience is different, but even so the main point stays the same...those videos do more to make my point that she is normal than your point that she is a radical (hell she doesn't even talk in the first one).

As for your opinion.  I have never once said you weren't entitled to the opinion.  But if you're going to post it then I'm entitled to challenge it and you to challenge my opinion.  In this case what I was driving at was that you weren't actually basing your view of her on anything beyond a gut feeling.

And I never stated that I was.

BTW: I have read the Bible, and been to church hundreds of times. Not sure I would consider my position one of "very little experience" or "things they don't fully understand".

I am not an atheist due to lack of exposure, that's for sure.
