I *do* pipe up if science or politics are being affected by religious intrusion- besides that, and actually trying to (or succeeding in) kill someone, whatever you believe is really up to you and no business of mine.

I am more concerned with actions than beliefs. It is through actions that we build or destroy ourselves.
