There are a handful of posters who are on a personal mission to rid the world of the evils of religion, and they can’t stop reminding us of that in every religious-related thread in GD. Yeah, we get it. Lots of us here are atheists, but we’re not all evangelical about it! ---

Yes we are! Not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed that I haven’t been mentioned. > [@Nava](#): > > I’m rarely in Spain; while I do mention Spain a lot, I suspect that many people read “Spain”, look up the poster, see “Nava” and think “oh sweet Jesus there she goes again”, but don’t add up the times I mention another location. For what it’s worth, my overriding impression of you is that you’ve lived and worked (as some sort of engineer?) just about everywhere in the western hemisphere. If not for your name and your participation in language threads, I would probably have forgotten you were Spanish. ---

I just can’t get away from it! I agree with a lot of the posts here, but like monstro, I just can’t be troubled by it anymore. So one person talks about the same thing over and over.
