Gome -
Hopefully you know where I stand. And though I agree with you, I prefer the term "spiritually challenged" over idiot.

MountainClimber56 - It may be a better way of putting it but there are
those (and far too many of them) who outright and immediately dismiss as inferior, those persons holding beliefs other than their own.

I believe that is a better way of stating it, than holding
one's beliefs against them!

MountainClimber56 - I think that is an instinctive human reaction
An individual's beliefs are also their reference point or datum line, when interacting socially with others it is only natural to utilize our own perspectives as qualifiers.

I am not sure we hold their belief against them but
we do compare theirs with ours, and that might be what creates the distance!
