I guess I can see how this could be annoying to someone if it was a constant thing but I can't see this one being such a serious offense as to call it imposing ones beliefs onto another. To me it seems as silly as a woman refusing to go through a door because a man is holding it open. I have held the door for both sexes on many occasions just to be polite but I have only had women refuse to go through.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

I agree. I really wish republicans would quit doing that, but I'm not holding my breath.

Too bad it was not in practice in the early 1800s


What makes you think it wasn't?

We are talking about imposing your beliefs onto others, no? Oui oui. It is annoying.

You know how you just inverted the argument? Right there? I mean, right there? How you just did that? That was awesome. Now everyone thinks you're clever.

You think people are just figuring that out now?

You don't really give folks much credit, do ya?

*shrug*

The fact is, it's not about being clever; it's about pointing out the screamingly obvious to the seemingly oblivious. I just said what most thinking people were likely already thinking.
