We need to respect the person, and their right to follow any belief or philosophy, as long as those beliefs do no harm to others.
Any attempt to force another person to change their belief is disrespect. It is a very clear statement of "I'm right, you're wrong;
I'm smart, you're stupid". As an atheist, I can fall into that trap as easily as a theist can.
That's why I'm here. I want to learn better responses to theist "attacks", and I want to learn how to keep my cool in the process.
Thanks for reading my mind. Please stop now.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
