i agree with you that people are allowed to do whatever they want. 

i also do not believe that people who believe in supernatural beings are "below me."

"shared individual beliefs" puzzled me the other day. that's my idiosyncrasy about journals/blogs. when i studied english a diary was the name for what native english speakers call blogs. i write a blog on a cms called "live journal," so sorry for confusing you and kristin. i enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas with others, but usually not about faith and in a different language and culture. 

oh, and as a mathematician by training and some one who has read dawkins (i haven't read god delusion but am interested in memetics), you probably would agree with the teapot example he cites from russel.

the onus is on the believer to prove something exists or not. until then, god is just in their heads.
