Subject: RE: BS: Belief in Evolution vs. National Wealth
Steve, my belief does not make me in any way a lesser being, someone to be condemned and insulted. As Stim says, I am not an Enemy of Science.
You have no reason to fear me - or to condemn me. I guess what I'd like to say is that my belief in God is my business. It's good for me, but I have no wish to impose my belief on anyone. I see things at least partly with a spiritual perspective. Others see things from other perspectives that may be equally valid. In fact, I do my best to try to see things from a variety of perspectives - including nontheistic perspectives. I do, however, rule out the rigid thinking of fundamentalists and extreme atheists.


To be honest, I do have some question regarding your rigidity and intolerance. You seem to be every bit as rigid and intolerant as a Christian fundamentalist. Ease up a bit, willya? Accept the fact that other people have other perspectives. People who are so thoroughly convinced that they are right, make me nervous. It always feels that their next move will be to try to silence me.
