Hmm. Maybe its just my liberal bias showing, but one commentator put it 
like this, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own 
facts." Unfortunately, among the religious, they often make up facts, 
based on their desired opinion. Something that can be seen every time 
you deal with arguments about everything from evidence for a real Jesus, 
to even things like, "god helps those that help themselves". Which, I 
understand may have been first stated "officially" by Joan of Arc, 
according to translation of the notes taken by her personal secretary, 
but which was probably a common fiction even before she stated it.

Point Of View = "Putting a bag over your head, with a picture drawn on 
it, because you don't like the existing view out your real window." ;)
