Much better - and such a statement is an academic, (not a religious),
comparison - which is where the discussion should be.

Unfortunately the OP - in typical troll fashion, although I'm not
accusing him of being a troll - yet - provided absolutely no details
of what the heck his environment was or what he was really doing -
which usually lays rich ground for the discussion to spin out of
control.
