I'm generally tolerant of people regardless of their beliefs, or lack thereof!
religion is just a label and means nothing to me. i don't hate christians because some of them piss me off and i don't hate germans because some of them were nazis. i extend hate and disrespect on an individual basis. it's more meaningful that way.
Little Toe.....what is "fag--paper"?......I have some ideas but I'd rather hear it from you.
I know! I know! A cigarette paper! Very thin.
i don't think it is good to be insulting at all. but i do not agree with the general politically correct sentiment that religious beliefs are beyond criticism. and in that sense, i am critical of all supernatural belief systems.
Thanks Brenda. I thought Little Toe was gonna try getting this thread closed.

respectful to any one not pushing religion at me, when the pushing starts, ... no more respect
It may come off insulting at times the way I talk about religion and mysticisms of different variety only because
I have come to see them as somewhere between con games and harmful mental infections but I do not mean to insult the person infected (^_^)... and I recognize I may be wrong as well...
No, I feel religion does not make the person, I respect people based on their actions.

I do show respect because that's the way I was raised. I have had experinces with people that were JWs, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans and Methodists because I was either a part of one of those groups or had close ties in other ways. I have come to the conclusion that, no matter the religion, it's the level of zealotry in each that causes the problem. The " I'm right, you're wrong." kind of ( F . . . . . Up ) thinking.
