our "tolerant" religious brethren perceive the word quite differently than its intended meaning I find. They also aren't quite clear on what persecution or a war on religion actually mean either.

It is quite amusing to be told I have to show some respect for their views while simultaneously being told they have no respect for my views because their fairy tale tells them they don't have to respect us heathen infidels...I know it's redundant but it's a fun word usage anyway.
