is living with someone who shares your philosophical viewpoint a good idea?

I don't know if I could live with someone who didn't think that neodeconstructive rationalism evokes the same fusion of Dionysian and Apollonian drives as the classic Greek tragedy.

Haha, I spent a good five minutes trying to figure out what you were talking about before I figured it out.

April Fool's Day aside, though, shouldn't we try to be tolerant of other people's beliefs, at least to the point where we can live happily with someone who doesn't take their religion too seriously? I'm not suggesting that we should respect those beliefs (after all, there is a difference between tolerance and respect), but I am in favor of tolerance.
