- Nonsense. I bet a majority of the people in the world believe that

- Yes, Absolutely! In fact, I dated a Sunni Muslim. Because my religion is
- part of who I am and her religion is part of who she is the dating stopped.
- Just because you apparently have no firmly held religious views does not
- invalidate the religious views of others.

- You tell others to 'never consider yourself the majority of the world' and
- then turn around and pretend to be the majority yourself. You state the
- we are all the same and expose why the world should conform to *YOUR*
- idea. Further, your high handed "let me tell ya" implies that you IMAGINE
- yourself an expert. I would go on refuting you, but I remembered Proverbs
-
- 20:3 It is an honor for a man to cease from strife, but every fool will
- be meddling.
-
- and
-
- 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like
- unto him.
