Original comment:
  ... those who do not recognize the teaching authority of the Church.

Me:
  How about those who are strong enough to form their own system of values, 
  rather than accepting on blind faith a popular attitude?

If you want to make personal attacks, stick to net.flame or send me mail.
I see hiding in a no-flame newsgroup a sign of cowardice.

I agree with that.  If you'll read my subject line, you might understand what I
was talking about!  I agree with your article, about said faith and such.  What
I didn't like was the way you phrased the teachings of church, you put them
as "the correct authority."  I find that offense.

Defensive, aren't we?  No, I'm just ready to make an attack on anyone who says
that religion is the best thing for me.  Your phrasing insinuates that.
