Well, to be fair, a desire for others to be converted isn’t bigotry. It’s simply saying you think you are more right than they are.

You know, I have a lot of evangelical friends who really would be thrilled to pieces if I found Jesus, and I’m OK with that. We have a working understanding about it.

However, there are good and bad ways of talking about this, and Ann didn’t find a good one.

Also, I imagine she’d be eternally pissed off if anyone ever tried to convert her to anything, even very indirectly.

Had to come back in long enough to comment on this since I didn’t see it earlier.

You’re absolutely right, SFZ, on all counts (as usual). If the part about thinking “you are more right than they are” remained just a thought—or even a diplomatically worded discussion—there probably would never have been any major religious conflicts.

And with that, I’ll reiterate & emphasize my longstanding profile quote and take my scaly backside off to visit Mr. Sandman:

The world is divided into people who think they are right.
