I think I got my answer, there doesn't seem to be a difference and I won't go talking to other people about it unless they talk to me about it first.

I didn't mean to sound hostile. My 'get a grip' comment was directed at anyone that lets go of their self control in the excitement of sharing what they think no one else knows even if the person isn't interested (I'm sure I could've said that in fewer words! Big Grin).

I've been guilty of it myself in the distant past too.

I believe we should be intolerant of ignorance too. And that religious control is very wrong. Arguing and questioning our beliefs and reasons for them & against them is absolutely essential I agree. You'd be brain dead if you didn't question/ going against your own nature.

The question in hand though is should people proselytize.
