As I passed through Cary Town (in Richmond) on my way to school yesterday, I saw a group of 15 or so people holding a protest against Scientology. I have a really hard time understanding religious intolerance.

First, I can’t even fathom how one person’s religious beliefs have anything to do with me. I think the idea of Big Foot is pretty ridiculous, but I don’t see how someone else believing in giant monkeys threatens me in anyway.

I understand protesting war or civil rights violations, but I can’t even begin to imagine hating a religion so much that I’m going to spend a beautiful Saturday morning standing on a corner screaming at cars.
