@OT - Nice statistics and thought it would be a bit lower but what exactly is the problem with people having their own beliefs? |
The problem is the beliefs are a product of ignorance, not a product of rational argument or evidence-based conclusions.
Sure if you say it only impacts that individual it isn't an issue. But let's say that individual is a politician, a senator/representative/president, etc then I'm sure you can see how this world view impacts their policies. Then you consider their offspring and people over whom they have much influence and you see a snowball effect.
It isn't their personal belief that offends me, it's the impact on others such a belief has. It makes it okay for this type of magical thinking that isn't based upon anything to occur. I pity those who refuse to embrace reality and simply choose a school of wishful thinking and willfull ignorance.
