Dom,
I will not give up on fighting rascism and religious intolerance.
If I did, it would be another victory for lack of moderation.
Doing nothing is not an option.
All my life and all over the world I have stood up against rascism and intolerant religious ideas.
BUT when people try to convert me (as they all seem to want to do) I will tell them why religion is wrong IMO.
I sat with 20 muslims in a Baltimore cafe on the day after the 9-11 tragedy and explained to them that it wasn't a Jewish plot.
I told a whole bar of irate Americans that nuking Afghanistan was not a good idea because of the civilian loss of life.
They wanted to rearrange my exterior but their shouts of "Commie Barsteward" had a rather comical edge.
They gave up.
I have Jewish friends too...
None of them will try to tell me that their religion is better than the other, because I will tell them that it is all bad, and that no religion is better than a religion that will not listen to reason.
