Hmm, looks like there are more supporters than just the few that Slythe identifies.
Besides, there’s more evidence to support the OP than is found in the Christmas in the Schools thread – which you have mischaracterized, or at least failed to completely characterize – although there is certainly plenty there.

So you’re saying I should base my statements about chiropractic care on someone else’s experience and/or bilious uninformed opinion, and not my own?
Twit.
Oh, and hey Slythe? You’ve got a little brown smudge on your nose, there…

Sorry, that should read: So you’re saying I should base my statements about chiropractic care on someone else’s experience and/or (bilious uninformed?) opinion, and not my own?
But you understood that, right?
And this too, bears repeating: Slythe, get the hell out of David B’s butt!

Story Tyler, I wouldn’t base my belief in a “medical” system because it once seemed to work for me. I would look into the background of the system, check out the different studies on the subject, see if there is any consistancy in the way it is taught, check out it’s track record over a long period of time, and, last but not least, realize that my memory of the one personal experience might be clouded by time and my own emotions on the subject. Over here in the real world, we call this “Science”.
BTW, jumping over here to the “David B. is a …pompous ass” thread and saying “Me too! Me too!” certainly qualifies you as an expert on brown noses, so I can’t argue with you there.
To all you others who think that because I see the events of the other thread differently from you I must be wrong or ignoring the facts as you see them, I suggest that you see a little movie called Rashomon. David saw the situation through his eyes, I saw the events through my eyes, and unless you others video-taped what he experienced and let a computer program write about the results, you are viewing the topic through your eyes.
I do not claim to know what is in Brother D’s heart and mind. I can just say that I have experienced a lot of what he has reported, and thus agree with him on some aspects.
Oh, and Story? Would you please post a list of people we are allowed to agree with and support without being called a “brown-nose”?
It would make posting here a whole lot easier! 
Yeah, give Slythe a break…afterall, he is David’s brother-in-law…
That last little bit of unsubstanciated paranoia from Conn…Fantas…Krispy Original(it’s hard to keep all the personalities straight!) is the reason I refer to David B., whom I have never met, as "Brother D). For any other bits of rumor mongering and inuendo spreading, please refer back to some of Contestant #3’s earlier posts.

I could have pleasantly gone all day without that image.

If you want to see Christianity at its loving best, check out the multiple postings from the LeftBehind Board at Great Debates! On the plus side, I don’t think any of the Straight Dopers are supporting them.
Actually, given Slythe’s admitted bisexual proclivities, that image isn’t much of a stretch…
…not that there’s anything wrong with that…
I’m still not going to sleep with with you Krispy!
Krispy, no joke, Slythe is bisexual? Slythe is male or female?
Y2K, BFD
Yes.

John, John,
I don’t have any results for any double-blind study, so I guess I don’t really have any scientific data to prove it…all all I have is eyewitness testimony, so although I think slythe is a married, bisexual male, I could be mistaking him for a planet…
…not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Alright, now that the LBMB nuts-os have left, following their master’s command (check out the GD board if you don’t know what I’m talking about), I DO want to make it clear that just because I defended David B. to them DOESN’T mean that I no longer agree with the OP in this thread.
David is indeed a “sanctimonious, condescending, pompous ass,” but by Goddess, he’s our “sanctimonious, condescending, pompous ass.”

Slythe sneers:
Actually, I was speaking my mind for my own benefit, Slythe. Since you don’t believe that God exists, how in Hell can you know anything about my relationship with Him? You ass-ume too much. Really.
Actually, I think David B. stated pretty clearly in the Christmas in Schools thread that he was from a Jewish background, but was himself agnostic, and leaning towards nonbelief. I would not spell that self-description as ATHEIST. I think you admire David’s posts for their logic & clarity (as opposed to your pitiful attempts), and are attempting to paint the two of you with the same brush here. Only the underlying differences still show through. For all my criticism of how how David is using his logic, he does have some. I know you think your calling him “Brother D” is just about an inside joke, but I suspect it is also an attempt to ally yourself closely to him.
Atheists may attend the same schools, participate in all activities, obtain & maintain employment, vote or hold elected office, all without regards to their religious beliefs. Atheists (and other non-Christians) may be exposed to secular aspects of Christian religious holidays in public places. Christians may be exposed to secular aspects of Pagan, Jewish, or other non-Christian holidays in public places. So are Christians supposed to have LESS rights than the other groups, simply because they are not a minority?
If you can’t take the heat… You know a lot of people post things from an emotional standpoint, and when they look at it later from a more logical standpoint, realize that it really doesn’t hold up. I actually suspect that this may have occurred to David in this thread, but rather than admit it, he shot the messenger(s). You know, sometimes you deserve & get a lot more respect for saying “Let me state my new position” than refusing to back down from the poorly thought out existing one.
No, Slythe, when I didn’t care for David’s game of insincere invitations, I posted my thoughts here rather than distract from actual issue discussion in the GD thread (not that there was any going on then.) That’s what the Pit is for - “If you gotta flame, do it here” and all that.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
Since I pointed this out previously, I feel I can bring it up again without being accused of having my nose up anyone’s rear: David has said he wants either no religious-based holidays (Valentine’s day, St. Pat’s, etc.) taught about in schools, or all religion’s major holidays covered. So I think his stance is consistent, although you are free to disagree; it would simply be wrong to call him a “sanctimonious, condescending, pompous inconsistent ass”. Some relevant quotes from David:
“And for anybody that is wondering – my preference would be that they do none of these things in the school – that they leave it for home and church. But I know I’m going to lose that battle. So if they’re going to do holiday-related stuff, I’d rather they expand it so the kids learn about all the holidays.”
“Yes, it is still learning. So why did this school just teach about the one holiday? No good reason, that’s why.”
“Yes, I do bedgrudge them the opportunity to learn if it’s only about one religion. If they are only going to teach about one, they should teach about none, as I’ve explained earlier.”
“I believe it is easy to loose sight of the fact the the Lord has created athiests for a reason…to test our faith. They tempt us with reason and facts… Embrase agnostics!! I would cry it from every rooftop: ‘Embrase an agnostic!’” --“Bell”, on the LBMB
