"There was a particular God who inspired the Judeo-Christian structure of western civilization, and you apparently are content to ignore or deny that fact, even as you benefit from it. "

Hardly. What I'm not willing to do is accept your, or anyone else's, perceived right to ignore the law when you think you're acting out of a position of moral equivalence.

The people who murder 3,000 American on 9/11 also thought they were morally superior. Does that give them a right to murder at will, because they believe their God approves? If you had any intellectual honesty, you'd have to say yes.

You're confusing yourself once again with moral equivalence - the fallacy that what you think might motivate a psychopathic Muslim can somehow be equated to what you think might motivate a genuine Christian.

You're projecting this intellectual fog all over the discussion, and making it fruitless. Well, I gather it makes you feel better, somehow.
