I personally do not believe that a cracker is the body of Christ, and I couldn't care less about the Koran or who flushes it down what. I wouldn't publicly desecrate a eucharist wafer or a copy of the Koran because it would be needlessly confrontational and, well, sort of rude to say the least. But that said, I think it's worth reminding those of you out there who are religious that while you have the right to adhere to whatever interpretation of reality gets you through the day, many of us do not agree with your views and, frankly, find them to be archaic and silly at best, and destructive at worst. So stop getting your panties twisted all up your asses when somebody challenges your precious belief system. Your views do not trump ours, period! God forbid any of us should speak up about this once in a while in a country whose constitution enshrines religious freedom, which, I'd like to point out, includes freedom from religion... I say huzzah to PZ Myers and anybody else with the balls to point out, in such a public fashion, that religion tends to turn otherwise normal people completely crazy, and raises more uncomfortable questions than it answers.

It's up there with flushing the Koran down the toilet at Gitmo. You know, for those of us who are religious, though, it’s not just a cracker.
