    somehow i think making fun of someones elses beliefs is better than going to war over it.....ie: the crusades, the jihads, etc.

    Actually it's not different. Intollerance is the same regardless of measure.

    Religion, just like life, has changed and evolved since the crusades. So although the core beliefs have remained, the tactics and methodology have come a long way since witch hunts and church trials. Although I believe that some people still hold on to that ONE life preserver as their steadfast rationale for their own inability to refute common sense.

    Is the U.S. gov't bad because they killed and stole land from Native Indians or are they bad because of what they are doing NOW? Please tell me that people's spiritual and common sense beliefs today are not based on 11th century ideas.

    so you are saying there aren't varying degrees of intolerance or different levels with which it can be expressed?

    There are, but the bottomline is that NONE of it is good.

    So your intolerance to religion is just as wrong as Christian's intolerance of Muslims in the 11th century. Wrong is wrong is wrong, right?

    haha, i see where you're coming from, reminds me of the a sin is a sin, god doesn't rank them in any order.....but, from a nonchristian standpoint and maybe from society todays standpoint, there are different levels of wrong, and that's all i was getting at
