I am usually, it depends how they're a expressing it. And I know a lot of people on here are NOT so don't lie. I've been called an immoral Atheist. Attention-whore Satanist, been accused of sacrificing blonde virgins, eating babies, etc etc. So if you know you're a jerk towards others beliefs. Please don't deny it. 8) And that includes the Atheists who attack Christians and vice versa. The ones who mock Islam. The ones who insult Scientology. The ones who think Pagans are a part of Hells Angels and think they're criminals.

+9I don't want people mocking my religion, my culture - why would I do so to someone else? I could, on the face of it ALL religion sounds nonsensical, but your views on your creation are extremely personal. When someone mocks or denigrates your religion you take it personally and feel as if they are denigrating you. Religion brings comfort to billions. If you don't agree, if religion is not part of your life - don't attack others for whom it is important. Nothing that brings peace to the human soul should be downplayed or made fun of.
If somebody doesn't respect me or my beliefs it really doesn't matter. I will stay true to myself and my beliefs.
the muslums bury a woman up to her waist , and a bunch of her friends and neighbors come down and pick up bricks and stone her to death..
I guess that is my best example...
I do not hate the muslums for killing their women, even if it is stoning them to death, that is how they live, that is their culture, and does not effect me personaly,
the question was about tolerence , and I voiced my lack of tolerence for stoning women to death, if that qualifies me to be a hateful person in your world, well, I accept that ,
hmm, is that showing tollerence on my part for your intollerence ?????
I read it in the local paper , a liberal bias paper to boot, and they made a point to state a muslum woman stoned to death by her neighbor's for sexing up some muslum guy in the city she lived in..
how come they do not stone the guy to death also ?
I tolerate a s much as I can of others; their presence on public transportation, their voices, their dominance of the sidewalks... beliefs can be grating because frequently there are transparent elements to them that are head-slappingly stupid.
I try. And that's the best I can do. I try.
I think beliefs should be accorded respect to a certain extent. However, I think it promotes societal ignorance if we give demonstrably untrue faith-based assertions equal weight to hard-won human knowledge.
Believe there is a God? Fine, go for it.
Believe the Earth is flat and on the back of a turtle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Anyone has the right to believe what they want, but everyone has the right to criticize it as well.
Maybe you'd like to join many people here on the question "Would love you to Join me in posting a song of Peace." The question is in the living section or on my page. There are many beautiful songs there. You could add a beautiful song according to your personal beliefs.
