Absolutely. Stating your position, living by it and even having open conversations about it is not at all being an asshole.

Certainly. You don't even have to be polite about it. Are you going to tell them to stop talking about their religion? Are you going to say they belong in jail for their beliefs alone? I doubt it.

Maybe not out of politeness, but I might out of curiosity. Maybe he really can fly! Have you seen Legion?
Quote:I also don't think that religious people should politely shut up about their beliefs either - if they really are believers they should honestly feel that their belief is the most important thing in the world and everyone should find out about it.
I completely agree–unless they're on my porch.

Yep! Although, if it's my Aunty Mary's funeral, feel free. That woman's a nightmare.
