55. That was directed at an atheist (which I don't claim to be,
any more than I claim to belong to a religion.) It was meant as a suggestion to focus effort on the Mormon church because that body is most responsible in this case. Atheists generally do want religious people to be humiliated, so I thought it would be a sell. Didn't work.

If people's beliefs are embarrassing and they keep to themselves, I don't have a problem. If they inflict their beliefs on the public through messing with elections in places they aren't welcome, I do. And if embarrassment is what the church's membership needs to A) leave it or B) force it to reform, I'm all for it. It's better than outlawing their leadership and sending in the gunships, which they practically deserve for the degree to which they have subverted the Constitution while pretending to be American and support American values.
