If someone hits me in the face with a well-aimed blow and then tells me that there was no intention to hurt me, that helps precious little to ameliorate the situation
Lol. Well, punching someone in the face is inherently offensive. You may be offended by someone else's symbol of morality, but a symbol is not an offensive thing in and of itself if its meaning can be different for different people. So it is definitely possible for someone to not mean "you don't belong here and you are second class" by putting up the 10 commandments.
"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."
