Religion is a metaphor for being "bound" to something. The root "ligare" meaning bound can be found other words in ligature or ligament. Religion is what you bind yourself to - it could be anything from politics to philosophy to a deity. So if you are so adamant about extinguishing religious people you have to reconsider that because you are religiously anti-religious, you are bound to your vehement displeasure of religious people - you clearly display that in your posts. I think you owe crukster an apology.

Your arguing semantics doesn't disguise your imbecility.


By 'drawing pictures' I meant, do I have to simplify it enough for you to understand? and it seems that I do. But, judging from all the verbiage you've dumped here, you would still entirely miss the point.
I don't think you noticed, but the topic of religion here has not been a metaphor.
Please, spare me any more witlessisms.
