I suspect that had you been born in Mecca you'd be just as fervent about mohammed flying to heaven on a horse.
It was post #132.
I have never heard of him, or of that story. So I have no idea, but probably not.

Beliefs lead to actions. We're all allowed to vote, so yes, it's going to anger me that people believe in unsupported nonsense.
I mean, what about climate change? Should those of us that recognize it not be pissed off at those that don't believe in it?
I can't fathom what kind of action me believing in the sun miracle would take that would cause someone to be angry before any action was even taken.
As for climate change, I honestly don't care if someone believes in climate change or not. So long as they still recognize the importance of taking care of the environment regardless, and do their part accordingly.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
