WaltC,
I have to say that you hit the nail on the head. As a Scientologist, I really think that I am a kook and can certainly get tired of hearing the media representation of my religion. But that is not the point.

Basically, I think that if we treat people according to our opinions of the things they believe, instead of treating them as we would have them treat us, then we only get what we deserve in the end. Intolerance has never served anyone well, imo.

If more people took this view of other's views, there would be a lot less violence and none of the major atrocities in our history (Stalin, Hitler, Roman treatment of Christians,Crusades,Inquisitions,911, etc.).
I don't have to believe what you believe and you don't have to believe what I believe, for us to treat each other decently.
