27. All humans should be free to believe as they like
So what? Let him think what he wants.

Some people believe in one God, some another... so what?

Some very old-school Catholics believe homosexuality is an abomination... so what?

I don't care what you believe, and you shouldn't care what I believe. Beliefs and actions are two entirely different things.

I will listen to fools and to sages... I will listen to all possible views... I may not believe in what you have to say, but I'll defend to my death your right to say it. I hate abortion with every fiber of my being, but I'll be dammed if I will stand back and let someone take that choice away from women.

Sorry, life isn't quite as black and white as you seem to think it should be.

I think we should listen to the man, try to understand his perspective, and try to reason with him... you know, diplomacy. If we don't, we are no better than the worst thing you can think about him.
