I love how islam is somehow "more evil" than christianity... I have many christian family and friends, I have several muslim friends, I have hindu friends, I have wiccan friends, i have pagan family and friends... They're all cool. Their beliefs are silly, but none of them are evil... (not that i really believe in evil anyway, but as for what you might consider evil) The majority of the christians I know are pretty lazy in their beliefs, it's more of a "accident of birth" than a real pursuit of spiritual improvement. The muslim friends I have are by and large the same way. Their parents were muslim, and they were raised muslim. My hindu friends are generally a little more dedicated to their religion; Sriram, for example, was saving all of his money from working at philips so that he could fly his new wife in to the country to meet her, and complete the wedding ceremony. His parents had chosen her for him, and he was quite excited to finally meet her. He was a great dude to work with, very funny, personable, and very dedicated to his religion. At least once a week, I would hit quiznos for a prime rib and peppercorn, never once did he tell me I shouldn't eat beef, but politely declined every time we invited him to come along. My wiccan friends are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They take their religion very seriously, and act compassionately towards everyone... literally the MOST helpful people i know. The pagans I know are pretty laid back. They believe in some pretty wacky stuff regarding crystals and whatnot, but they don't hurt anyone. Point is, whether they believe in a sandal clad hippie stoner god, a ultra-conservative mystical bearded man in the sky, a cow god, a goddess of nature, or some mystical as yet unknown recycling of human souls, they're all cool people, even if I think their beliefs are absurd.
