I believe you are mistaken, or just misusing the terms.

I am not a heathen. I believe in God, just not the bible.
And I have opinions, not preconceptions of every little thing. Well, some, just not all.

However, my lack of offense has nothing to do with either. I was not offended because I am a citizen of the USA and understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion or belief whether I like it or not.

If something is meant to be offensive, a negative and/or violent reaction satisfies the purpose. Back when you were a kid playing outside the cave, you remember hearing the phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." Well, guess what? It's true and if you fail to recognize that, you are not living in a society which can tout freedom as it's tenet.

Sorry for moving to a political side.
