Thsi isn't aimed solely at Russ by ther way - this is open to everyone to answer. I'm interested to see what others think here.

I did say for lack of a better word - as Chris says some see it as far more than a belief, to them it’s reality, a fact. I see it as an opinion and I’m happy to respect that opinion until should a day come when it becomes forced on me.
Nobody should be forced to have any opinion imposed on them and I think the recent legal ruling puts up a very strong barrier. The trouble there though is often if you state that you don’t share the opinion, there’s no debate, there’s no open dialogue, pull down the shutters - you’re a bigot.
And that is wrong.
