Jim: You know that Religion is a Taboo subject, especially with Paul. Why were you Baiting him all through dinner?
Tammy: I wasn’t baiting him. We have very different views on Spirituality and I wanted to discuss the subject with him.
Jim: You were making Disparaging remarks about his Faith and some of the things he holds most Sacred. I think you were trying to be Provocative.
Tammy: I may have said a few things that were provocative, but I don’t understand how people can believe in Superstitions.
Jim: There you go again! People’s religious beliefs shouldn’t be called superstitions.
Tammy: I’m just Calling it like I see it. I didn’t know you were such a Fundamentalist.
Jim: I’m not a fundamentalist. In fact, I’m an Atheist, or at least an Agnostic, but I still try to show respect for other people’s beliefs.
Tammy: Beliefs are made to be challenged. If you can’t Defend your beliefs, you shouldn’t have them.
Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, Behold the voice of Tolerance.
