You know, Alan. I don't get where you find this information. I'm unaware that I blame other cultures for their religious values. In fact, I'd be the FIRST to say I can't really make much of a call on this whole other culture/other religion stuff because I'm frankly NOT part of that culture and I'm not qualified to make any sort of judgement on it because of that. However, I am NOT an anthropologist. I lack those tools to have a fair discussion about that particular issue and the only thing I DO have is my western atheism.

Matter of fact... I don't even know where the hell you got this dirt on me. Is it because of that Chinese thread?
