56. Ah, yes, I guessed that.
However, when you say "non-religious creeps like you," it rather takes it out of the general category and gets specific. That's why I didn't use a comparative reference and let the "religious creeps" stand alone as a class. It's a bit of a fine distinction, of course, but semantically, it makes a world of difference.

I try very hard to be careful with my use of language. Only by doing that can I explain what I meant when that meaning is misunderstood.
