True. One problem though, is that people are usually so attached to their ideas as to call them "beliefs", and take it personally if you mock them. In that sense, saying something against someone's religion is the same as saying something against the person. To get out of the way, what I usually tell to religious people is: "Imagine I told you I believe Zeus is the only truth, and that I will pray to Him and to Athena so you become enlightened and take on a path of truth and wisdom. Imagine what you'd think about me and my beliefs. Those are my feelings right now." j -- Juan Buhler Water Molotov: http://photoblog.jbuhler.com Slippery Slope: http://color.jbuhler.com
