I am sorry your insulted. Like I said earlier, I have nothing to loose. Did you not presume to understand who I am? Religion is the height of presumption, and to make it worse, it has millions of followers. I responded to what you said earlier and you got personal by being sarcastic about my spelling. Maybe I was just tired, or in a hurry, Maybe you assumed I was an idiot becouse of this. You are certainly allowed your opinion, I never attack that. I attacked religion. You are a bit defensive I think.
You made the statement that you choose freedom of thought.
I made the statement that I also choose freedom of thought.
You then corrected me, and pronounced me wrong about my own mental situation and said I was governed by my faith.

Now in pointing out the insulting nature of such a remark, I am defensive?

I was not ridiculing your spelling. You made the statement "There is know God and Buddha". It didn't make sense unless you misspelled, but on the internet one cannot be sure, so I clarified. You presumed assumption of idiocy where there was none.

Now, let me say it again: Faith is an exercise of will and the result of free thinking. It is the result of abstract thought, hypothesis and analysis of received information.
