I hate religion and everything it stands for as much as anybody, but that jab just felt awkward and out of place.
Well, yes. Real-life religion tends to be a lot more weird and a lot more nasty at the same time.
Really? It felt about right to me. Maybe I hate religion too much.
Would you have made a similar comment if it had been, say, a political 'cult' instead of a religious one?
Sounds to me like you haven't entirely rid yourself of the social conditioning that makes most people grant special consideration to religion.
Yes, I would have. Probably even more forcefully, because I hate religion more than I hate politics.
You don't know me, Furcas, and yet you automatically assumed that disapproving of the random jab at religion on aesthetic grounds was a sign that my Hate for the Enemy was insufficient. Even though I specifically disclaimed that! I think you need to reread http://lesswrong.com/lw/m3/politics_and_awful_art/
The disclaimer only made me more suspicious, actually; it's exactly the kind of thing that a quasi-faitheist would say. I'm glad I was wrong in your case.
