Why is it that most non-religious people i know are far more tolerant of other people's faith than the religious ones? (no, not all of them)
isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

i mean, most holy scripture, no matter the sect or base, preaches about this kinda tolerance shit all the time. did i miss something?

cause its good for me to be ok with the faith of people around me, but not good for the faithful to be ok with me.
Fuck. That.

normally, this kinda thing just rolls off my back and i ignore it, seeing as i have little faith in really old dead people to begin with; but hearing some surprisingly deep rooted hate from good people, just because they think it'll spare them from hell, irritates the shit out of me.

for fuck sake children, get along.

Word.

I have to say, that while I usually have no use for the Lubavitcher-type evangelical Jews, they make me smile when they refer to folks who are not as observant as they are as "NFY" 'Not Frum YET' It's like they're okay with me 'cause they have -hope-. They're not just writing me off now and forever. If that makes any sense... =]

(Frum meaning really religiously observant)

see, now, that i like. it's like saying, 'yeah, we don't believe exactly the same thing, but we can still get along like human beings.'

why isn't there more of this? :(
