Can one persons "faith" be more legitimate than another persons?

And if no, isn't anyone that legitimizes faith responsible for the actions of others in the name of their faith?

In other words, in order to defend the legitimacy of your faith, don't you have to defend the actions of others in upholding their faith, regardless of their acts?

    The "true" faith is the one that you hold and all others are wrong. Still, you have to respect others' right to believe as they wish.

    That fire was accidental and the Branch Davidians were breaking the law by ignoring a court order at a minimum. Religions, including wacked-out cults, must obey the law.

    Faith is believing something is true because you want it to be true.

    When I hear people going on and on about faith, I feel like I am listening to 3 year olds talk.

    According to Clinton and the ATF , it's O.K. to burn to death hundreds of people if you don't approve of their religion.
