[quote]The problem arises when people who believe there is only one kind of truth have no consideration for the truths held in other domains and ride roughshod over them.[/quote] That's ridiculous. There's imagination, there's opinion, and then there's making unfounded claims that have no basis in reality. As you mentioned [quote]Some schools, for example, require students to be immunised to be eligible for enrolment, but parents are permitted to circumvent this for "religious reasons". I don't know exactly what that encompasses, but I do not think it is an acceptable excuse when such actions put everyone in danger.[/quote] Just because someone thinks of such delusions as "god will protect me" as religious truths doesn't mean they aren't, in fact, delusions, and not truth in the slightest.

  • First quote is actually more in reference to religious folk who take their personal belief - their personal, religious truth - into other domains, like science, where they are not appropriate. Second is sort of relevant to the first. If a religious person believes that god will protect them, then that is true for them, even if others may place a label like "delusion" on it. You and I see it differently, but because we would be evaluating that from a scientific/medical perspective. Do you see what I'm getting at?
