There are some who would disagree that the earth is a sphere... and I am sure more than a few of them would also take issue with someone not believing in thier particular god or gods

I hate to tell you, but thats not why he quit talking to you. We told you before about maintaining personal space boundaries, but you just don't listen...
If he didn't want to be fondled he could have said so.

Case in point...
To refer to Japan and China as "the Far East" is weird to me because, living in Seattle like I do, I fly west to go there.
It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

people get bullied in every school, bullying is quite common. all it takes to be targeted and bullied is to be perceived different. Just a few examples to show how common it really is.
"Pulliam’s story in Oklahoma is echoed by cases in the news like that of Jessica Ahlquist in Rhode Island—a high school student who challenged a prayer banner in her school and was later called an “evil little thing” by her state congressman—and Damon Fowler in Louisiana, who got his school to cancel plans for a prayer at his graduation ceremony and was kicked out of his house by his parents."
"We’ve had cases where teachers have wanted to sponsor a Secular Student Club at their high school, and the principal told them it would be a bad career move.”"

Wasn't it George HW Bush who said that atheists should not be considered Americans, because it's "One Nation Under God"?
For real, I have many little stories to tell about religious folk who do a 180 on you when they find out you're not so much into their worldview. What's crazy is that it comes not only from conservatives, but far-left liberals as well.

While I am not a psychologist, not would I attempt to diagnose such on the internet, it sounds like there were some pretty significant warning signs that were missed.

The same happens with Atheists too to be fair. Many of them will bite your head off for disagreeing with them.

I'm not quite sure where you're getting that from. All the evidence we have so far is the testimony of people that have known him intimately for a few decades, which is nowhere near enough to be able to make a judgement.
We can't be certain that he was targeting PP or was motivated by Army of God until we get a confession signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
I mean, that's the level of jurisprudence that's been required for every other scandal involving PP, right?
I did not know of this hostility towards nonChristians in school. WIll act appropriately to not do that.

Well, he sounds like a charmer. The headshrinkers will have a field day with him thats for sure. I would honestly be curious to see what they find when they check which wires are shorting out.

Colorado Springs, Colorado (CNN)Robert Lewis Dear, accused of killing three people last month at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, made a series of outbursts at a hearing Wednesday, saying, "I am a warrior for the babies."
On a day on which prosecutors filed 179 felony charges against him, Dear, wearing an aqua jumpsuit and leg irons, made his thoughts known -- through nearly 20 outbursts during the proceeding.
"You'll never know what I saw in that clinic," Dear said. "Atrocities, that's what they want to seal." He also said, "I am guilty. There is no trial," and "Protect the babies."
At one point, a bailiff placed a hand on Dear's shoulder in an apparent attempt to quiet him.
When lawyers spoke about a listing of victims in the incident, Dear, his facial expression framed by a shock of hair, blurted out, "Could you add the babies that were to be aborted that day? Can you add that to the list?"
Dear made reference to his public defender, Daniel King, who also represented Colorado theater shooter James Holmes: "Do you know who this lawyer is? He is the lawyer for the Batman shooter -- when they drugged him all up and that's what they want to do to me."
While King told the court there were questions about his client's competence, Dear said, "You are not my lawyer."
After the tumultuous hearing, District Attorney Dan May said the litany of charges against Dear, 57, included eight options of first-degree murder, depending on the circumstances, and 131 counts of attempted first-degree murder. Nine people were wounded.
A preliminary hearing and arraignment are yet to be scheduled. May said a decision on whether to seek the death penalty would come within about two months after the arraignment...

Sure, but given the context of the conversation it is a little disingenuous to make the comparison as if both groups are equally affected.
One group routinely uses violence to coerce dissenters to "believe" as they do, the other group not nearly as much.
Also one group consists of the vast majority of people on this planet, while the other group is a much, much smaller minority which makes Grey Templar's "yeah but" attempt even more obtuse.
