Unless they are wrong. And I don't mean subjectively, I mean factually incorrect.
A man believes he can fly. And is about to jump off a building. Is calling him stupid, or suicidal, or ######ed a high level of intolerance?
No, it isn't. He is wrong. And if he lands on someone else, he is going to hurt them, as well as himself.
And if he wants his beliefs given equal respect as the so called "law of gravity" in schools, then you are going to see exactly how intolerant I, and every other rational educated adult out there can be.
Religon has less immediate impact than the aforementioned "Mr. Crater", but praying isn't going to help global warming any, now is it?
