This is also painfully obvious whenever the president gives his state of the union speech...
The camera pans the crowd and you can clearly point out the people who are just going with it, thinking "Let's just sit down already", but everybody keeps clapping at the tiniest thing for the first 10 minutes or so...
(always seemed like worship to me... even Obama's expression went "...lemme talk now..." a couple of times)
I've never really used my name online. One day, while bored I decided to google myself. My name (first and last) coincides with a painter, a writer, and a US criminal who fled to my country of residence.
I wonder how long I'll be delayed in airport security, and if they'll double check my identity before putting the white glove on...

People can certainly accept that others believe differently, its just harder to do so, since they lose that artificial superiority they've grown to love.
Think of it like this: If you are right and they are wrong, you are superior. And whatever you do, you justify it by that which makes you superior. In this case, religion. (other examples: racial beliefs, social class, even knowledge)
We all feel that twinge of pleasure when/if we slap some fool down when he makes a mistake. Some people just fall in love with that feeling, and take it much farther, as far as it will take them.
We are all great liars, and superbly gullible when it comes to our own lies. These can be about your choice of religion, your rationalization of why long term commitments are not for you, or even about how you are surrounded by idiots.

Oh my god, Samna... That takes me back...
no, it doesn't.
Although you'd probably need a monstrous rig to handle two games... maybe.
I'm really just guessing here. Maybe someone can tell me if that can be done =)
