Lookig at some of the rather intolrant posts here of late, jst wondering what people might think of this?

Personally I think Voltaire was off his rocker when he said that.

Are you kidding? The religious are too tolerant to tell atheists what they think of them? Not in my universe.

Fair enough; the Religious protagonists do seem to make a very great deal of noise over on that side of the pond; the vile Westboro Baptists, for example. Things seem to be a bit more polite in the UK. WRT the Religious, that is.

I would agree. Religiosity is more subdued in the UK. There was this one guy, though. For the whole two years I lived in Bristol he stood in the centre of a shopping mall at lunchtime and screamed at us as we walked past. He was brandishing a fantasy book that he had interpreted as telling us we were going to hell.

I was at a street intersection once when two guys, on different corners, were each saying they were Jesus. I am not 100% sure what to believe, but I am pretty sure at least one of them was wrong.
