ON IGNORANCE & BEING INCONSIDERATE

I am a person who is far from perfect and i do not expect perfection from others as i understand that we all have limitations that is beyond our control...but somehow or rather as much as i can accept one's imperfection, being inconsiderate & ignorant are things that i cannot tolerate...
For example: we all have our own opinion about the recent ruling on Yoga by certain religious body rite....it does not in any way have an impact on me because i am not a yoga fan and becoz i do not exercise...but i have received an email from a person who thinks i am a friend (the feeling is not mutual by the way).
The email clearly meant to ridicule the yoga ruling as well as making fun of that religious body by predicting several other ridiculous/stupid rulings that the said body would make in the future. i am disturbed with this email....becoz this email from this so-called friend not only ridicule the religious body but also my religion!!! So now i ask you, the so-called-friend....yes, the said religious body might be better off to focus on other more serious and material issues (i certainly think so) BUT who on earth made u god & give u the right to humilate and ridicule MY RELIGION???? (especially since u & i dont profess the same religion!!!!)
To me such ignorance is not acceptable!!! especially since the ruling has no impact on you... Being in a multiculture and religion society we should accept the rights of others to profess any religion and hence to be governed by the rulings of the religion that we have chose to profess...this is provided under the constitution but i guess as highly educated as you are...u are totally ignorant!!!
Another example: I just received a Xmas card from a person whom i dont know but clearly knows me as this person knows my full name and my house address...my question to u is... dont the fact that you know my full name means that you should also know what religion i profess??? Are u trying to be funny or are you just totally ignorant with that fact????
i have no qualms about what religion you choose to profess, i celebrate Xmas only bcoz my aunt married an English guy...when i went back for my graduation in Coventry i also gave several Xmas presents to my professors and friends....i respect other religions but i am deeply hurt if you do not respect mine due to your ignorance!!!!
My advice to you: Go fly kites la you....!!!
