If there is no missionaries present, I see no reason why anyone would feel I'm "attacking them" or that I am "against them". If I had tried to pin it on the religious people in the forum, I would be widely off the mark. I can't see that I've been off the mark so far.

You've done it here, complaining about people forcing their beliefs on others, and you insist on tarring all Christians with the fundamentalist brush.
Uhm, no. Several mistakes:

1. I've talked about missionaries. The ones banging on my door or approaching me on the streets. How is that "tarring all christians"? I'd say it's a pretty small(but very annoying) part of christianity.
2. Ridicule is the first step of conversion? Art thou insane? What on earth am I trying to convert them to then? My Glorious Religion of Absolutely Nothing? The Church of Don't Care? How is that possible?
3. I attack conservatives and market-libbies all the time. Religious issues is a side-issue for me. It's not my fault christians mostly position themselves on the conservative wing when it comes to issues like gay marriage, abortion, etc. Get on the socialist side, start supporting gays and abortion, and we'll bicker a lot less

So then, you really should understand my problem with missionaries
