I always quite appreciated this comment from the Jodie Foster movie "Contact".

"Our job was to select someone to speak for everybody. And I just couldn't in good conscience vote for a person who doesn't believe in God. Someone who honestly thinks the other ninety five percent of us suffer from some form of mass delusion."

I understand that lots of people don't believe in God. I object to those who cannot afford me the same courtesy because I DO believe in God. It is unfortunate that some cannot talk about faith or religion without inserting perjorative and condescending editorializations into their arguments. I am a reasonably intelligent, resonably well-educated and generally intellectual person...and I believe there is a God. The last does not invalidate the former.
