Don't you think there's, oh, just a wee bit more going on here than  
somebody being an "idiot" or a "jerk" on an individual basis?   
Really?  You honestly think that the right reverend Drake's behavior  
is no more or less objectionable for being cloaked in the trappings of  
faith than, say, some non-believer who's blunt about how they feel  
about belief in general?

Really?
