I am of the live and let live philosophy, but when you try to tell people that they can't have an abortion, use condoms, or get divorced from an abusive wife beating husband simply because their God says it is a sin then I have huge issues. Otherwise they can continue to live in their own delusional world without hearing as much as a whimper from me.
Agreed chatpilot. The world would be a much better place if everyone kept their personal religious beliefs to themselves. However, these people also have "holy books" which they take as word from authority and will often feel it is their obligation to convert other people into believing in their fairy tales.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
