So here I am, browsing teh interwebs and I come across http://friendlyatheist.com/2007/09/26/heroes/ - this article.  Lo and behold one of our very members read and commented on the same article months ago.  I just thought it was interesting to randomly see a forum member somewhere else on the internet.

I decided to take it out because that is not what I wanted this thread to be about and a massive hi-jacking was inevitable.  I just wanted to share my surprise at finding him elsewhere.  If you really want to see what was here, click the link and find his comments.

It was revealed later in the argument, and I admitted to being wrong.

As for the rest of it, I have to add that my respect for them is more a result of their understanding of the constitution... that they know equality should not be restricted on the basis of religion/sexual orientation/political beliefs, unlike what many religious service members (I've talked to) think.
