The implication of this thread, and presumably the notion that Cafetaria Catholics are somehow bad or impure, is thoroughly laughable from an objective standpoint. It is self evident that the world would be better off with less fundamentalists and more cafeteria Catholics, more eclectic and ecumenical Christians, more sarvadharmi and niradharmi Hindus, more reformed and liberated Muslims, and more secular-minded individuals of all creeds. Fundamentalism and religious conservatism of any sort are not consistent with the goals of a progressive, enlightened and free society.
