   You don't allow for anyone to have a view that contradicts you pre   
   existing notion that religion is the basis for believing anything that's   
   different from your views. This is intolerance.

   That's just an unsupported claim that _you_ make! But I know   
   why you make that claim. You cannot see beyond the four walls   
   that you are in.

   Nonsense! Since you refuse to go to my references, you have no idea what   
   they say. You just ad lib what you think they _must_ mean.

   I do not. I'm not a mind reader, so I just have to take them at their   
   word rather than try to spin what they say. That's what you do.

   You have to go to the sites I reference. Which so often is refused.   
   By "why should I?"
