What makes you think people are automatically entitled to respect? Do christians who picket funerals have respect? Why should I respect such people. Fuck that. Fuck them.
You have the same attitude that the people who picket funerals have. An attitude of hate.
How are you any different than they? In the same way they are disrespectful you are disrespectful. You return evil for evil, cursing for cursing, hate for hate. But hate begets hate and violence begets violence.
What will mocking someone's beliefs accomplish but make you look like a mocker? What will cursing and bitter words get you? What credit is it to you if you act as the very one's you condemn.
Surely you know that the only way to overcome hate is through love.

If we know it and fail to do it, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
I have many theists in my family and among my friends. I don't hate them because of their beliefs, I love them.
I think their beliefs are unsupported by evidence and rational thought, but that doesn't mean I hate them.
It is a bit sad that many of them (like you) believe they are born damaged, and destined for eternal torture, unless you can believe in the ridiculous.
The fact that human beings are fundamentally messed up is evident for anyone to see. Just look at the evening news or read a newspaper. Observe children at play on a playground. They need to be taught how to share and how to be kind. They need not be taught how to be selfish and harsh, for it comes natural to them.
Men are naturally selfish and self seeking, evil and bitter and full of malice. The curses of one uttered in this very thread is evidence of this.
