How Do We Respect Other People's Beliefs?

[Thumpalumpacus]

It's not a strawman argument. Your statement implied that we should not "badger" Christians because we would not appreciate being badgered. I returned with the reply that we are badgered. Constantly. And yet we are the ones who are deemed "angry" if we respond in kind.

It was on that basis that I then pointed out that the reason we're so often badgered is because others believe that if we do not conform, we are in need of pressure to do so. All "out of love", of course. Well, most of it out of love. Some is just plain bigotry.

Right, so if you don't like it when people do it to you, then don't do it to others lol.

If somebody doesn't extend me a basic courtesy, they have no right to expect that my reply will be courteous.

I make change in the coin tendered. If anyone wants courtesy, they need to demonstrate it in their own actions.
