In Canada and the U.S. everyone has the right to freedom of belief

SDF — 5/23/2006 10:35:53 PM (archived)

But is it right to be wrong?

No.

However not everyone has the time or money to get a proper education, to rise above religious fantasies.

But believers in religious fantasies aren't unique. There are the deliberately fictitious, creative, and artistic, those that create fantasies purely for entertainment value. But Star Trek, for example, has some fans that love watching it for it's entertainment value, and other fans that believe from a young age that this is the future of humanity. Science fiction has true believers too.

Everyone has some flaw in their understanding of the world. So the freedom of belief is necessary. Is it right? No. But I wouldn't kill someone for believing Star Trek is the future. But if they wanted to kill me for not believing, I would have to defend myself.
