Maybe that is why I feel more at home among them than in any other "faith community." Still, every time I see yet another post saying "all religions are equally bad" it gets a rise out of me re the UUs and Quakers, Buddhists and Jains... etc. However, the only conceivable result of raising those issues in DU outside this safe haven would be to get UUs and Quakers, Buddhists and Jains viciously attacked by obscurantist hatemongers.
