Ya know, until recently, I was all for religious tolerance. Recently, mostly with the rise of Ms. Palin, I've changed my mind.
Ya know, the earth is NOT 7000 years old. If you believe this, you are deluded and at least partially insane.
Ya know, if you're going to believe in the bible, you really shouldn't pick and choose. If you believe in a strict interpretation of the bible, you shouldn't eat pork and, by extension, shouldn't play football (I'm not sure, do they still use actual pig skin?) To the best of my knowledge, nothing in the New Testament 'undoes' the Old.
If you don't believe in evolution, how do you account for drug resistant bacteria?
No, I've come to believe that these fundamentalist Christians are dangerous.
I've also come to believe there really is only one problem with the United States society: lack of consideration for other people. As others have noted, everyone believes they are correct and those who believe something else is not worthy of consideration.
I think we have to stop thinking this is the greatest country on the planet. We need to really embrace 'think globally, act locally' not just with the environment but also regarding the economy and society.
I think we have to stop thinking "me and my family first". What's good is protecting you and your own, when the rest of the world is crumbling to ash?
I don't know, did Gene Roddenberry leave us a road map on how to get to the world of Star Trek? I think getting rid of profit and money will do a lot to cure our society.
And remember, everyone is entitled to MY beliefs.
