I agree...she has a right to her belief. That's fine. I reacted to the "damnation" response I got...that doesn't feel real tolerant. There is a difference between stating what I believe and telling you, you're wrong and going to hell if you don't believe as I do and as an American, I better believe what you do.
They are entitled to their beliefs, even if they think I'm going to hell. I don't care. I don't get "hurt" or insulted by others' relgious beliefs.
Their beliefs may not be tolerant, but it's your choice to be intolerant.
and as an American, I better believe what you do
I don't see that at all. I think you're projecting.
