[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"...Deism and any others which do not require the active presence of a Deity..."</blockquote> Erm... Deism certainly does require a deity, by definition. Why do you think they call it "deism"? The only "religions" that don't require a deity are atheism and agnosticism, and anything else that falls under one of those two broad categories. And deism most certainly is neither of those. As far as "intolerance" goes... I think it's entirely logical to "judge" (I use quotes so you know I may not mean the same definition of "judge" that some people might be thinking of) someone on the basis of whether or not they are religious and what religion they follow. It's not the same as judging someone on the basis of something like race or gender or what-have-you. Those things aren't a choice. Religion is. If someone follows a particular religion, you know that it was a conscious choice by the person to do so, and that tells you something about them. Either that, or you know they've accepted it through blind ignorance, which still tells you something about them. Now, obviously, this isn't a basis for such judgements as "all Muslims are evil and need to be bombed out of existence". But, just because some judgements would be unfounded, that doesn't mean that the entire concept of judging someone by their religion is invalid... [/QB][/QUOTE]
