Geoff:
I don't think that is a valid analogy.

If you wrote a story with a paedophile as a character, that in no way implies 
that you fit the category. After all, your story might well have a heavy drinker 
or an obsessive stalker in it, none of which presumably fit you.

Your comment was: 
"I could of course argue that Christians have never been truly introduced to
logic and reason because faith clouds their minds. I don't, because I am
respectful of other peoples beliefs and ideas..."

With respect, I would argue that it had crossed your mind, otherwise you 
wouldn't have made the comment.....
