Bullshit.
You are being an ass.
I tried not to respond but I have no idea how you managed to infer that
from my comment. You insult me.
I was not even the one who set the topic.
Ignore the topic if you dont like it. someone will change it later.
i tried not to point out how silly you first message was, here was one of
the less offensive responses i drafted:
I dont like diet coke and the vending machine was all out so someone
thought they were doing me a favour by getting me a bottle of diet coke as
an alternative. Diet Coke tastes awful.

Most religions are peace loving and a few zealots do crazy things in the
name of religion that go against the very principles of the religions they
claim to uphold.

The "christian church", there is no single christian church. The Roman
Catholic Church has some serious problems but dont judge all of
christianity by the flaws of the Roman Catholic Church.
