Like Brumar said, people get challenged on their faith all the time, told they are stupid, luddites, knuckle-draggers, etc etc.
Nadine and Brumar,

Yes, I know. People use the "n" word, too. But we're not supposed to. It's in bad taste. Outside a comparative-religion setting, it's generally recognized as non-constructive. Like I said:

"We're supposed to respect other people's religious beliefs."

Do either of you disagree with what I actually said? Or perhaps your posts were not in disagreement, just using my comments as a segue to gripe about how many tasteless folks there are out there, which there, indeed, are.

anecdotal: A guy I was working with from North Carolina told me he wasn't "a knuckler-dragger" like others who lived there (meaning his neighbors).

I had a guy tell me yesterday that a possible co-worker was great guy, "even if he was a Republican."

this was in LA and he assumed I was a Democrat like everyone else he knows.

No wonder self-segregation continues to grow. It's now in entire areas of the economy, like media.
