For me the big thing is that your opinions wouldn't lead you to act. I said it earlier, but I think it's worth repeating. That's an important distinction. As far as I'm concerned, people can think whatever they like as long as it doesn't lead them to harmful actions. Of course there's the issue of passing on those opinions to others, but you're so quick to own them rather than state them as "truths" that I don't see a problem. What I can't stand is indoctrination of children where religious belief is taught as fact. But of course I note you don't have kids anyway
Absolutely on the bolded!
Me thinking a particular action is immoral does not warrant treating anyone badly for it. I can say that I often do things that are immoral too, and I would not want people to throw stones at me for it.
I hardly think throwing stones at you would be anyone's reaction to your openness to being bad. How bad do you like to be?
