This pattern will continue as education replaces indoctrination. With much of religious beliefs, there is a pressure to follow along and conform, no matter your gut, to preserve the "community". That pressure is seen with our public representatives. They are all religious when they have to be....this isn't much different.

I could not agree more with this post, have argued on this forum about this with gnroz in the past. I am flat out tolerant of the beliefs of others, unless if you are a crook or a bigot. Living in new Orleans, I know thousands of intelligent, thoughtful individuals who maintain creationist views. Do I hold those views? Not at all, but to condemn those folks as idiots is flat out wrong.

please take this discussion to the proper forum..

there is enough spill-over each and every day we certainly don't need this perpetuated dialogue expounded on here in the GENERAL FORUM..

MOVE IT TO IT'S PROPER PLACE..

Again, I could not agree more.

Smug condesending atheists piss me off. As a nonbeliever myself, I find it disturbing how bill maher, for example, talks to people of the cloth.

I agree with you that kickserv was out of line in posting this in general.

"Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned."

Respect, tolerance? Guess which group is the most despised in this country....

What kind of belief is it when you aren't even able to defend it without crying for "tolerance"? The last thing a "believer" ever wants to do is ante up and play their hand....because it is a loser, and they know it. It's easier to fold.

Bring up religion around gnroz at your own peril........

While his views parallel mine, I take exception to his classifying believers as ignorant sheep. I have more respect for others than he does in this regard, but I was glad to know he does not act like this in person.
