[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think that being set off by incidental religious expressions suggests that the person disturbed by them has very little confidence in their own moral beliefs and is afraid they be missing something either positively or negatively.

For example, there are religions that do not eat pork. I come from an ethnic background where pork is a celebratory dish. It doesn’t bother me an iota when people mention that pork is against their religion.  As long as they’re not picking a fight who cares?[/quote]

Would it bother you if they said they thought no one should eat pork?  What if they offered you pork and were offended when you didn't take it?  In that situation, would you tell them that in your religion pork is a celebratory dish?  What if you were a vegetarian atheist - would you tell them that?[/quote]

They’re entitled to their beliefs. They can think anything they want and eat what they choose. So can I. I don’t get into debates about that.

I don’t understand the question about me being offered pork. I don’t expect my pork-avoiding neighbors are likely to do that. [/quote]
