I don't even care if their belief makes them automatically assume that I am wrong. So long as they (and I) can be respectful and civil about each other's right to be wrong, and doesn't make me a bad person because I'm wrong, we're cool.

My belief is that Christians are automatically wrong. Theirs is not the only god, and is not the only path to a happy afterlife.

Yet I have friends who are Christians... because they can believe that I'm damned for being a heathen, and still be friends with me... and I can respect their belief that they've got the only game in town, without viewing them as less amiable people for that.

Now, you start thinking that I'm less of a person because I'm a heathen and damned, and we're not going to spend much time together.

You see what I'm illustrating?
