Just had to say so after seeing it pop up for a few posts now... sorry.
By that token, wouldn't your signature be offensive to all Christians? The pendulum swings both ways, buddy.
(By the way, I myself am an atheist, I just don't see the point in being offended by people who disagree with you)
First of all, i'm glad SOMEONE's finally noticed and said anything about any of this (!)
I initially just wrote the message a couple weeks ago hoping Hal would realise that not everyone here is a Christian and that his first quote claiming that Atheism was nothing but hot-air could be insulting to some... unfortuately, neither he nor anyone else said a thing about this...
My new signature wasn't meant to offend, just to put things into perspective. I believe a person's religious beliefs (or lack thereof) should remain their own and probably don't belong on a website/topic about Star Wars Hi-Def Fan Edits and such (unless we're talking about the Jedi faith ;-)
But since this clearly isn't the case, why not express my own religious beliefs through my favorite theological quotes in much the same way Hal9000 had done before me. In these, the messages are the same but the roles are reversed. Why would that be more offensive?

(p.s. if anyone is truely offended by these, i will gladly remove them immediately)
