I understand earlier this year (before he converted in any case) he was diagnosed with a degenerative disease of some kind. Pascal's wager perhaps? Don't know.

You don't know, notmyself.

Exactly.

But anything is good enough for a sneer at religion, isn't it?

This is not a question of someone being forced or indoctrinated into any faith; it's a free choice he has made for himself.

While it's not the choice I would have made, I respect his right to make it.

I agree with you and a cursory glance through my posting history will show that I do even to the point where someone believes themselves to be a chicken sandwich. It would make me sad but every single person MUST have the right be believe what they wish. However, if this belief of being a chicken sandwich tries to impose itself on others such as people who do not believe they are a chicken sandwich I will protest. A prime example is gay marriage. If someone does not like gay marriage then they are not forced to have one, nor should they be. If that person tries to stop others who wish to have a gay marriage then it oversteps the mark.

Freedom of belief is just that, freedom to believe what you wish. I think we both agree that it does not mean freedom to impose that belief on others?
