Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samuel Leming" data-source="post: 2803603" data-attributes="member: 16462">It should be clear that my initial post is a rant.  It's a rant about inconsiderate drivers.  It's a rant about unsafe drivers. It's a rant about how some people feel they're more deserving of privileges and resources than others even if they don't fully realize they feel that way.  In one sentence it's also a rant against casual hypocrisy.The post is most certainly NOT a rant against religion in general or one religion in particular. I've reread the post and, even while calm, I think the message indicates that inconsiderate drivers are the source of my ire.I do not believe that I broke the rules of this board with my post.  Since, much to my surprise, this thread is still going, I think a moderator would have already had a talk with me about it if I had crossed the line.I will now blatantly break these rules as I understand them and explicitly talk about religion.Only one of the three vehicles had the symbol.  The PT Cruiser(who's driver I called a moron) parked across those three spaces did not display the fish.  I didn't mention either the model of the vehicle or the symbol status since that isn't really what that part of the rant was about.When somebody displays the fish they're saying they follow a creed where love and consideration of their fellow man is of paramount importance.  When a driver of a vehicle so labeled treats other drivers without courtesy or endangers them in a careless manner he's behaving as a hypocrite.The hypocrisy of the driver on Tuesday night wasn't the root cause of my irritation, but it certainly added to it.  That behavior was SO against what that fish claims.  Yes, I do know who the driver was.I'm aware the Bible warns against being a hypocrite with the stories about the Pharisees.  I would think that Christians would be as annoyed at someone who misbehaves while claiming to be one of them as people of other faiths, if not more so.Dark Jezter, I'm well aware that organized religions often come under attack in this country and others and vice versa.  Isn't it possible that you've become sensitized to those kind of things and because of those actual attacks you've read more into my words than what was really there?I hold no ill will towards those that have taken me to task about my rant, but I think you guys are wrong.  I'm not going to apologize since I don't believe I broke the rules.  In this post I am breaking the rules to explicitly nail down my point and I'm not going to apologize for this one either.  The moderators may do as they may(because they will anyway).Sam</blockquote>
