I don't think, you're really subscribing to that. At least, I hope so. It would mean, everyone not believing in the christian god, would be automatically labelled as evil. That's about 5 billion people.
And please, don't take the simple way out in saying, god is in their lives without them noticing. Just a small caveat, since I got to hear that kind of argument over and over again in various discussions.
What?? You clearly misunderstood me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
