Oh, that's pretty common retoric!

One of my wife's brothers has gone fundamentalist christian, and regularly tells my wife that we and our kids are bound for hell and that a serious illness she had was a warning from God. At their mother's funeral, this winner told my wife that she was definitely in hell because she hadn't converted to his brand of christianity.

:disgust:

Be mature and practice tolerance. Everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs and religious freedom, regardless of how whack their beliefs may be or how much you might disagree with them.

Man... screw tolerance, when you adversely affect other people, that's taking your beliefs way too far. It's upsetting that such stupid people continue to live & breed in a society which has in many areas advanced so far
