Thanks for your comments John!

Sorry you can't follow a simply analogy. I have used it many many times and you are the first to be stumped.

Myself, I am not an atheist as the term is generally used. (most use it wrong)
I am an agnostic.

If you want to make an analogy, then say that the Pope practices marriage counseling (even though he doesn't) as if he were a wizard. Saying that he does so "all time believing himself to be a wizard" expresses it as fact, not analogy.

I'm certainly happy to know that you understand how to use the word atheist but I assure you that I do too and I am one.

As am I. Insufficient data to make a determimation either way, but an argument could be made for some organizing agent not worth killing over.

It seems to me the Popes main issue is the teaching to children.

His use of the term "colonization" implies a closeness to indoctrination.

He is saying in effect that we should allow children to "feel" their way on such an issue.

My verbiage was just fine John, just fine. The problem is you.

I mean this sincerely.

You should think long and hard about this.

Yes, religious bodies do not like competition especially with regards to children.
