Me, I'm happy believing what I believe, and letting others believe what they want to believe.
When you're secure in your own beliefs, you don't feel the need to ridicule that of others nor cock off at them for it.
Let life be good. :D

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg." -
Thomas Jefferson
I think if more people in this world could persue their own personal spirituality without being beset on all sides by the 'true believers' forcing you (sometimes on pain of ostracism or death) to adhere to their particular set of standards, the world would be a much more pleasant place to live in. Jefferson was able to realize as much hundreds of years ago... shame that such ideas should STILL seem so revolutionary now.
