Yes, MrFlux, I agree, but not tolerating some things are necessary for the protection of our "inalienable" rights.
Halx: I don't like to call myself a Christian (as I've said before on this forum), , nor have I identified myself as one. I just said that I fall under that label (as I've said before on this forum), it's the label that is put on me because I go to church and believe that Jesus died to save me. Also, how am I not a complete person? My view of reality apparently is not skewed by my beliefs, because the reality here is that I try not to judge people. Nor do I use my belief as a crutch, nor as an explaination for anything. I have just had personal experiences with God, to the extent that I can't deny that he is there. It definately isn't stupidity, I welcome challenge to what I believe. You are right, however, to say that I am not "qualified to dictate what is right and what is wrong," but to the same extent of not being qualified as anybody else who has any belief at all, and we all believe something or other. I was aware that everybody uses stereotyping, but maybe you should explain to me why I am not complete. I agree that most "Christians" are assholish about certian matters, and put a bad spin on the religion. I am just trying to get you to think about why you, as well as others, are bashing my beliefs. I encourage you to make me think about my beliefs as well. By the way, I my best friend is an atheist, and he told me the exact thing that you said about your friend.
