@mammonista I get what you’re saying, and while I have never met a scientologist (not knowingly, anyway) or a voodoo-ist, I have known a number of mormons with whom it is safe to say I am friends. Their beliefs don’t bother me in the least as long as they aren’t foisting them off on me. Now, would I marry one? No. I didn’t marry a theist either. I married an agnostic with whom I agreed. And he and I changed, as people often do, over a number of years. And we are currently in serious disagreement over this issue. Is he irrational on the subject. He is right now. Is he irrational on any other subject? Nope. Is this the most important of all subjects? Perhaps it is the most important subject for you. And that’s fine for you. It is not the most important subject for me. It is a very important subject. I will not deny that. But the assertion that this is the most important of all subjects is yours, not mine. I have no problem with living with his theism with one caveat: I expect the same respect from him.
