Right, there are few religions which are for religious freedom. The correct belief systems are those which respect that which we can be relatively certain of, in the context of our existence, and that which can only be characterized as ignorant, naive and arrogant guessing; or more sucinctly faith. The correct beliefs are those which recognize what truly remains to be discovered instead of making it up as they go along. Unfortunately, what you are to have faith in is dictated by the particular cult which you happen to be a member of. Those which follow societal norms are generally accepted faiths but no less ridiculous than the so-called pagan or new-age religions.

Dwight, we have talked about this exact issue before, so I am not sure why you are puzzled. I have said repeatedly that EVERYONE'S religious or spiritual beliefs are just that, a belief system. I have never said that mine are correct. I have only said that when a person's belief system causes them to hurt others, or discriminate against groups of people, or violate the human or civil rights of others, then at that point you are not entitled to inflict your belief system on the universe, that is all.
