I am tolerant of viewpoints which draw from evidence in the real world in the attempt to paint an accurate picture of it. I am not tolerant of superstitions which actively oppose, or insidiously subvert, reason and scientific inquiry. I will not pretend that a viewpoint which, even though its only 'proof' lies in its own writings, is used to justify millennia of slaughter, slavery and degradation of humanity. Such a viewpoint is worth nothing but contempt.
