That was not what I was trying to suggest with my statement Qatarkid. I'm sure you can understand that it's perfectly possible to be happy with your own chosen "path" while also remaining open-minded to other people's ideas.
I enjoy learning about other peoples beliefs and religions but I'll never believe in a God myself, and I'm more than happy within myself.
Equally, I understand and accept that for others religion is their life and they could not carry on without it. And some religious folk who I've spoken to even express an interest in trying to understand why I don't believe in a God - without feeling the need to try and convert me.
So I'm definitely not suggesting we all sit here in our own little bubbles, ignoring what other people believe. If we all did that then none of us would be commenting on this thread, and life in general would be very boring.
But unfortunately some people aren't open minded and decide something needs to be 'done' about those who don't believe in the same thing they do.
