Yes I get it, you don't need to repeat it over and over:- tolerance = the mark of an adult.

There are lots of intolerant people, that is the problem. If it weren't a problem, then nobody would be bothered about telling people they are atheist and worried about the reaction. Would they?

Nobody would be bothered about "coming out" as atheist. I mean "coming out" FFS, what is all that about?

"Hey Dad, there's something I need to tell you, maybe you'd better sit down..."

"What is it son? Please god tell me that you're just gay, and not an ATHEIST"

yeah, i recognize that there are religiously driven wars and a lot of people are intolerant. however, we live in a country in which we should be able to express our beliefs in a manner that can disarm a person, get them to recognize that you're a person too, and help them be okay with that. that's all this person is looking for. as i've said, it takes a lot of skill and charisma, but i don't think it CAN'T be done. we've come too far for that.
could i get a drink and an ashtray?
