--I tell everybody that I'm an athiest Jew, married to an agnostic Italian Catholic, who adopted a little boy from Korea who worships Pokemon.

Sometimes people laugh. Sometimes they glare and escape my presence quickly.

Hey, Pokemon worship is as valid as aything else, given that we have Scientology. (Although I do like to remind people that in its early days, every now-established religion was viewed as a wacky cult by others.)

I believe in letting people have their own beliefs, no matter how unsubstantiated they might be--I do draw the line at letting them have free reign of public policy based on them, though.

Two useful quotes:

"Everyone is entitiled to his own opinion. However, you are not entitiled to your own facts." --Molly Ivins

"Faith? Uh, That's when you believe in stuff that no one in his right mind would believe in." --Archie Bunker
