That hearsay is a weak basis for assertion.Rex_Admin said:What is your take on this?
well, you're going to have to convince me a little better than that...!Rex_Admin said:I was told that studies indicate that more likely than not....

Ignoring the OP grammar, I'd say that any meaningful discussion would have to start with a consensus on what a "religious person" means. If you include for example Sikhs, Daoists, and Buddhists in "religious persons", I think that you'll find an immense amount of tolerance.Rex_Admin said:I was told that study's indicate that more likely than not a religious person is going to be more intolerant to others.

While grammar is not my strong suit.

I'd like to know which "religious" people they're looking at. I've met just as many intolerant atheists as intolerance "religious" people. The big mouth gets the media microphone and there are *hundreds of thousands* (billions?) of religious people who don't get the media attention.Rex_Admin said:I was told that study's indicate that more likely than not a religious person is going to be more intolerant to others.

That might be contingent upon the flexablity of the belief system in question. Some religions have more room to maneuver and others are more dogma inspired and as such have a higher propensity to an "us and them" sub-culture within the various organizations.Rex_Admin said:I was told that study's indicate that more likely than not a religious person is going to be more intolerant to others.
What is your take on this?
I thinks it's people who are legalistically dogmatic and conservative who try to preserve tradition, that tends to be intolerant to social change.Rex_Admin said:I was told that study's indicate that more likely than not a religious person is going to be more intolerant to others.

The study's are a waste of time, someone trying to justify their job or a grant.Rex_Admin said:I was told that study's indicate that more likely than not a religious person is going to be more intolerant to others.
