5. I hate the sin, not the sinner
:)

Seriously, I don't hate anyone for their belief, assuming they don't cram it down my throat, but in the recent days of trying to teach Creationism as Science, I get a little testy. I do abhor ignorance (incuding my own), and frankly it often goes hand in hand - HOWEVER (before I get flamed) I also know a lot of extremely intelligent religious people, so even though I can't grasp how they reconcile that with belief in the irrational, it's their choice.

I do know that when I am wrong about something, I will admit it and apologize.
