It's interesting to me that religion has a reputation for being "intolerant," yet when I read through this thread it is very clear who the intolerant people are. They apparently just can't tolerate that folks might have a faith that they can't understand and they have to "enlighten" them as to the problems with religion.
Ironic.

The content was clear from the thread heading. The post was completely harmless. Yet folks feel they have to jump in and ambush religion?

Is this driven by a tremendous need for attention? Self-esteem issues? Loneliness? Powerlessness in their real lives? I sincerely wonder.

Wouldn't it be better to read the thread and say, "Well, they're religious and I'm not, but I respect their beliefs so I'll just go check out another thread."?

Wouldn't that response foster a better sense of community?
