AFAIK, you are the one who brought religion into this discussion here.

If you notice, the only comment I've made (other than pointing out how shallow your Biblical references were) was that these guys screwed up in the PR department. I never said they should not have given the award. They should not have been surprised by the reaction and the fact that they took back the award says (to me) that they didn't think this thing through. If they had, they would have either been prepared for the bad press and stuck to their decision, or they would have never given the award in the first place.

I've spent much more time with Bible study and with comparative doctrine study than the ASA rule book, and I would do no such thing. But this is not the forum to debate such issues.
