Peace on earth, goodwill to all men? Very basic precept of humanism ;-)

Personally, I always appreciate the sentiment as long as it's well meant; meaning is always inferred, not implied, so I take it as a goodwill gesture even if it's from a frothing evangelical loon. And I think our opinions on that type of Christian are fairly similar, n'est ce pas?

Happy Christmas, and take that as you wish, because I'm also a very committed Liberal, which means I'll tolerate anything if it doesn't hurt me.
