[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] What y'all (there's a word I bet nobody here's ever seen in print before) are confusing is the difference between tolerance and apathy. The reason we send missionaries is so we can teach people what we believe. If they don't listen, we don't force them to convert or kill them or anything like that, we just let them live as they like. Tolerance doesn't mean that we can't teach people that we believe that they're wrong, it means that we can't persecute someone BECAUSE we believe they're wrong. And of course we might be wrong, and we don't know. We BELIEVE we're right. The same applies to you. Reminds me of that book mentioned in the Hitch-Hikers Trilogy, "That About Wraps it Up for God". Our religion may not be infallible, but it's either inspired, or it's got a lot more coincidences in it's favor than any other I know of, whereas your religion (and athesim is a religion) relies on more coincidences than I can count. Our source for guidance was written by two dozen people over several millenia, with no contradictions, and cross-references throughout. The probibility of that happening by chance is essentially nil.
