Borrowed from ajslj:

In 1787, the majority of people in this country thought African Americans were worth only three fifths of a human being. In 1887, the majority of people in this country thought Interracial Marriage was an abomination. In 2008, the majority of Californians thought marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Just because the majority of people in this country agree with you doesn't mean that you are right, it just means that a lot of people are wrong.

Oh sure, but that whole Christian, Muslim, etc. group seems to be particularly vocal about it. I don't like ANY organized religion, actually, I'd rather people think for themselves than be told what to believe.

My MO has always been to figure out what I believe and then see if there's a belief system that fits it. I never understood people deciding that since they believe in XYZ from the Bible, they're required to believe everything in it - and instead of questioning it, they decide well, that's it then.
