One never tires of it.Still, I rather wonder: if one is really “over” religion — if one
really regards it as just folly from start to finish, and has no emotional engagement with it — whence all this heat? Wouldn’t one just
regard it the way one regards people reading their horoscopes?
I suspect the discussions of religion would be a lot less frequent
and a lot less heated if one particular listmember didn’t post so
obsessively on the topic. Ditto Iran. I’m no fan of religion, but I
don’t see much point in bringing it up every day.
