Advice on interaction with religious followers
#3
RE: Advice on interaction with religious followers
You can't do any good by saying, 'No, I shall not pray! You can't make me! I'll be in the other room while you practice your primitive rituals that offend my rational skepticism!' All that'd do is attract bad feeling. They'd probably throw holy water at you or something. So, basically, just grin and bear it. Like our Lord Jesus did.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
