There's
a theological discussion taking place next to me and although I have a deep
respect for other people's beliefs what I hear is utterly ridiculous. It should
be common knowledge by now that the difference between a religion and a cult is
the number of followers. To live as if "God" exists is one thing but
to really believe that is like believing in Santa Claus. In children that's
sweet but in grown ups that is simply disconcerting to say the least. For some reason religion (and I mean any religion at all) can't pass beyond my tolerance line. I guess it comes with too much baggage and is too heavy to cross.

you seem to be contradicting yourself :)
Yes, people are free to believe in whatever/whoever they want to.
But, no, they are not free to forcibly impose those beliefs on anyone and that is what I find appalling about religions. So the way I see it I don’t contradict myself. But thank you for sharing your thoughts with me-you’re welcome to do it again if you feel like it.
