Who said I was "picking on your religion"? I was poking fun at (mono)theism in general. I never once said anything about Christianity. And who is "we"? I see posts all the time from a Christian point of view.

"Veg" meaning "vegetation", not "vegetable". Or "vegetable" and in "animal, vegetable, or mineral".
