Just my opinion of course. Anytime I'm talking to a person and they disclose that they believe in any of the religious nonsense, no matter what flavor, I generally disregard anything they say after that point. My thinking is that if they are stupid enough to believe in their goblins and gods then their judgement can not be trusted on other matters.
