It goes both ways.  I am not a very religious person.  But on 6-6-06 a 
bunch of non-religious fanatics spray painted a very beautiful location 
here in Wisconsin called Holy Hill.  Call it a rampage against religious 
people.

There seem to be attacks on those that are religious, and I dont blame 
those that are becoming defensive and trying to stand up for what they 
think is right.  But I guess that thos that are religious are alway 
called zealots and the like, but those that attack religious people are 
let free to run.  Go figure.

Guess this should have been on the alternate frequency, but done 
subscribe to that.
