That's true, not solely but unfortunately happens a lot.

But it's not his choice to be daily bashed on a forum by a witchhunt posse of haters. I (and other's), merely make a few comments to try and address the fact that people are being unreasonable and attempting to blow a lot of things that he does or says in the house out of proportion because they have an unrealistic expectation of what and how a "religious" person should act and behave. BUT then, i (and other's), get jumped on as being some "nutjob" cult fan or friend, of which i am neither.

So, do you have a belief that any religious person - never lies, cheats, steals nor ever does anything wrong?

I agree, it's a shame.
