Jeremiah posted a message: “Controversial: I believe that where you are born impacts which religion you choose (or are raised in), therefore religious zealotry is a form of prejudice. Agree or Disagree?”

While I agree the specific FORM of religious ZEALOTRY may be a function of of location, I do not agree that location and parentage requires you to choose one RELIGION over another. In my case, my parents are Christian and I chose to become a member of the Baha’i Faith. It was an interesting process and I spent a lot of time explaining my reasoning to my parents. I would submit though, that reasoning and zealotry are opposite ends of the gene pool. - Dan
