King Solomon, My Hero

First off, let me say that I think having meaningful and respectful conversations about religious beliefs is hugely important for building a tolerant world. I also think sharing your beliefs with other people, especially people who don't share them, can be pretty brave.

That's why it bothers me when it's done in a really half-assed, condescending way. A lot of rapid-fire religious pamphleteering and online evangelism is actually kind of insulting given how personal and important a decision it is to adopt a religion. I mean, we're talking about asking someone to change all of their beliefs concerning the fundamental workings of the universe. That's kind of a big deal.
