The fact that Paul has some uncoventional views of the most popular
deity does not justify personal insult of the above nature.  I don't
see why should a person, who views god as evil, should be called
crazy, while others, who hold to the belief that god is good, are to
be cosidered sane.  Gods of various mythologies generally seem to
have an evil side to their character.  The god of the bible is not
an exception to this.  I really don't understand what is all the fuss
about.
