Religious Freedom and Intolerance

I attended theological seminary for two years back in the 1960s.
Despite that background, I avoid discussing religion, and I hate having people try to proselytize me. And I really hate it when those who are unsuccessful in their attempts to convert me think it is okay to kill me.

The crusades, the inquisitions, the witch trials are all horrible examples of this type of fanaticism from historical Christianity.

And the devastatingly murderous beliefs of radical sects today are every bit as bad.
