apology more than accepted. i know you as being a kind sort of person, and had a hard time believing you meant your comments that way - but i felt i had to respond. i completely understand that not everyone gets faith...because i was agnostic for a long time myself and couldn't see the point of christianity. as it is now, i don't have much choice in the matter, but that's okay with me. if you ever have any questions, i am happy to talk, but i don't assume my questions were the the same as yours. for what it's worth, i am completely in agreement with you about how terrifying fundamentalist ideologies of any kind (including atheism) is. people do horrible things because they believe it is God's will...which is one of the reasons i'm a pacifist. i don't believe i'm fit to know the difference between violence in my name vs. in God's name.
