Let's remember that some rather important people from some other religious institutions didn't necessarily outright disagree with him. I'm pretty sure that in Texas, they refer to it as "The Ole Texas Two Step"!
I think another institution that's watching this closely may be the Masons. "No atheist can become a member of a Freemasonry Lodge. Masons do not care what your individual faith is ­ that is a question between you and your God - but we do require that a man believe in a Supreme Being". What do they do about this one?
It just about sums me up with two words; Dignity and Respect! Everyone deserves nothing less until they've done something that goes against or offends my own unique set of morals, values and spirituality. I'd suggest that not many people share identical beliefs with me or with anyone else on the planet.
I don't think I'm a bigot or racist at heart, but I admit I've told all the jokes and said the worst words one can say about another. Sometimes I feel guilty, and other times I feel justified because of something they have done or said. That aside, I'm a "Male Chauvanist Pig-First Class"!
