Ian, that is so nice of you: I do realise that expressions of religious belief are problematic for people who do not share them. My beliefs are important, but I would try only to share them with people who are interested, not ram them down others' throats. I hope so anyway.
I suspect that most of the people on these boards have a strong moral code, whether or not it originates or is reinforced with their private religious beliefs. And mostly it is that which they are defending. For most people here their faith is a comfort, not a stick to beat others with. If it becomes that then it is not acceptable to me either.
