Maybe I'm not sensitive enough, but I don't understand why people become upset when complete strangers make comments about religion. Does it really matter that a stranger on a mailing list doesn't share your views? Why is it offensive if they don't believe in the Bible? You do, they don't, so what? What does their opinion matter to you?
I remember when I was interviewing for a job and they asked me how I would feel if a crowd started shouting racial slurs at me or called me "bitch"? I think I must have looked confused for a minute, I remember looking at the person who'd axked the question (it was panel), finally I shrugged, "What do I care what they say about me? They don't know me, their opinion is baseless and means nothing to me." I git the feeling that he was well aware that *his* opionion meant nothing to me too. Yes, I did get the job and I turned it down.
