[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mock religious people?  If someone makes an offhand comment about going to church (say on a Sunday afternoon, mentioning they just came from there), do you sneer?  If so, why?[/quote]

I use to mock religious people when I was younger but I don't anymore.  I don't think you change minds by being condescending or belittling others.  The other time I might get confrontational would be when someone is way off base.  For instance, if a loved one was ill and someone's response was not to take them to the hospital but rather "pray about it" instead.

Again, if people want to participate in religious activities that's their prerogative.  I wouldn't sneer if someone told me they just came from church.  I don't think they're doing anything but wasting time on a Sunday but I'd keep that to myself.[/quote]

Who goes to a hospital every time they're ill?[/quote]

No one, I think?  What I meant was suppose someone has a concussion.  I'd want to take that person to the ER and not just sit around pray they get better.  That, by the way, actually is something I read about from a friend of a friend on Facebook.   I meant in regards to serious injury.  I don't mean something like stubbing your toe or having a cold.[/quote]
