Reply #237: There is no requirement to respect a wrong belief. [View All]

[Zhade]

I don't respect the belief that the earth is flat, or the belief (held by an astounding 1/4th of Americans!) that the sun revolves around the earth. Why should I be forced to respect a belief that is wrong just because it is a religious one?

I will not afford religious beliefs clearance I wouldn't any other other issue. That said, I will also not hold a believer to be anything less than as fully human as myself, and will hold them in the same regard as anyone else. Their actions, not their beliefs, are what I measure them by.
