uh, wrong... *grin* misguided, perhaps, intolerant, maybe, but not wrong.
I'm not asking either of us to be right or wrong-- I'm asking for him to
allow me the same ability to follow my religion that he wants for his
religion. I don't tell him he is wrong for not being a Zen Druid-- I'm
certainly not teling him he is wrong for being Christian. I simply want to
be accepted as an equal-- his Christianity for him is just as right as my
Zen Druidism is for me, and his Christianity for me would be just as wrong
as my Zen druidism is for him.

the key here is not right, not wrong, just different.
