... and of course I've met people who are condescending toward those who believe in God, saying that it's just a crutch, or a fig Newton of the imagination. I've also met a lot of wonderful people who don't believe in God, who are very respectful of my faith, as I am of them. I don't much like the ones who are condescending (it not being one of my favorite qualities in people) and I truly enjoy those who see that there are many perspectives on something as important as why we are here, and what we should do with our lives.

Mudcat is not a hotbed of religious enthusiasm, exactly, and yet I have rarely had anyone insult or condescend to me in here. Those who have are certainly in the small minority. And I can deal with that, too..
