I wouldn't have asked if I didn't care. :p

I can't help but try to change people's views (which ofcourse never happens) because I feel they are living a lie. I know I should respect peoples views and believes but I just can't help but see religion as a weakness which is probably a weakness of my own. You're doing a very good job in keeping this discussion civilized. You say alot of things i agree with but I can't bring them in the subtle way you do.
My mother used to tell me when I was little "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" and man, is that true! I don't like it when people try to shove their opinions down my throat and so I suppose that people wouldn't like it if I did that to them, particularly when it comes to personal beliefs, a very sensitive subject. I guess it's just a matter of being able to put yourself in other people's shoes. Time has also shown me that it's pointless to argue when personal opinions are concerned, people hold on to them as if the world was about to end.
