Cool. What do you think of the Raelians? The Scientologists? Do you afford them the same level of respect and understanding?
No, of course not. Like I just said, whether or not you believe in God in an of itself is separate of how and why you came to that conclusion of belief. I have a much deeper respect for many popular pundits who have a strong belief system based in faith (of which I specifically respect), but I wouldn’t give that same level of respect to a Raelian. But any Raelian can try any time that they wish :)
Surely, you would not compare Dennis Prager to a common Raelian, or Tom Cruise? I hope that’s not what you’re suggesting.
