I would like to give everone an example of religious tolerance in the real world: My wedding: We had:

Christians (my wife and in-laws)
Jews
Muslims
Hindus
Satanists
Agnostics
Athiests
Univeralist unitarians
New Age spritualist
Druids
Mormons
Wiccans
Shamanists
Budhists.

And I've probably missed a few.

Remarkably, there was no persecution, insults, violence or intolerance. Why, do you suppose? As my wife pointed out: It is because we all were intelligent, civilized Human beings, and we all got along just fine.

Unfortunately, there are far too many intolerant, violent people in the world who will use religion as an excuse for their actions.

Druids, huh? I thought they died out centuries ago. *LNI smells BS...*

I suppose it looks bad if I say I stop taking people seriously if they say they're satanist, New Age, or Wiccan. I mean, honestly, who does?

Druids? Aren't they like... dead?

What about worshippers of the Khallian Blood Gods? Didn't have any of those did you? Intolerant ****

Seriously though congrats. Who performed the service?

This parable shows us that people of different backgrounds can live in peace only if they're drinking heavily on a cruise ship.

Yeah... not a full quotation though. It looked kind of tacky full size, so I just put in the slogan and gave you credit... It's still friggin' awesome, though.

Funny.

I got you beat on religious tolerance - I invited everyone to my wedding and didnt even ask what religion they were oh and noone had any quarrels at mines either.

I only found out about my guests (actually my wifes guest mostly) religions after the fact.

Druids, huh? I thought they died out centuries ago. *LNI smells BS...*

I suppose it looks bad if I say I stop taking people seriously if they say they're satanist, New Age, or Wiccan. I mean, honestly, who does?

I don't take Christianity seriously either so I guess we're even.

Druids? Aren't they like... dead?

What about worshippers of the Khallian Blood Gods? Didn't have any of those did you? Intolerant ****

Seriously though congrats. Who performed the service?

My father-in-law who is a pastor. Oh and druidism is still practiced by a few people. Just like alot of older religions.

This parable shows us that people of different backgrounds can live in peace only if they're drinking heavily on a cruise ship.

No one was drinking, but you do have a point.

LMAO Good one.
