Anyone else getting less and less tolerant?
I'm having a hard time accepting religion in my family members (none of my friends are church goers).

No, I can't convert them, but I just got the most religious Xmas card yet from my stepmother, and it pisses me off.

Thinking about the roots of religion, and what they're actually celebrating (even if they don't know it)....I don't know if I can just set back and ignore it anymore.

Especially seeing the rise of intolerance from the other side.

1. I'm worried about this New&Improved xtian persecution act...
Oh, woe is the poor, persecuted xtian community! The big bad separation of church and staters are trying to take away xmas!

ABC News ran a story on this lat night, and it's fast becoming the new shark attack filler storyline on cable news.

This is ridiculous.

Keep xmas, but don't shove it down the throats of non-xtians.

If xtians walked the walk, I would respect them more.
