lol, shit. I can't tell if that's humour similar to mine or a legitimate question. If it's the former, props to you, because people rarely get it.

IF it's the latter, then yes I can. I can't think of anything that I believe in as devoutly as they do their religion, so I can't imagine anything someone could say to me that would get me angry, let alone in a rage. That rage I'M talking about is their feelings btw. I'm in no way condoning their ACTIONS...if they're violent. Burning the pope in effigy I have no problem with whatsoever. That's a political statement of sorts. One that the US is fighting to spread around the world.

As an example of what I mean, start a thread talking about what a fucked up place the US is and watch the anger and hate roll off the fingertips of the folks here at GFY. They're defending the country that they believe in, albeit with the stroke of a keyboard instead of weapons. One is clearly less harmful than the other, but both are representative of the feelings of what they believe in. Should we tell the people that reply, defending the US on a messageboard that their feelings are inappropriate? No. Just like we shouldn't belittle the feelings another culture has about their god.
