This is exactly how I feel.
The reason Losty doesn't respect your religious beliefs has nothing to do with how good or bad your religion's followers have been throughout history. No. I don't respect your beliefs because it is not in my best interest to respect anyone's beliefs. Beliefs should be analyzed, debated, and tested. Often. Every time you find yourself getting comfortable with a certain belief you have, it's about time to have a discussion about that belief (preferably with intelligent people who disagree with you). Too many people believe things just because they've always believed them. It doesn't do anyone any good to stop thinking about and considering the things they believe.
