Are you saying that one is not to respect logic, reason, written historicity and the lack thereof, revealing biblical axioms, and the like?
Don't make this notion of Jesus' alleged existence harder than it needs to be.

My bad, I knew I should have bolded which part I was referring to specifically. No, I was saying that if someone believes something on nothing more than a deep-seated need to believe it (especially in the face of directly contradictory proof), why then do they get to say "That's my belief, you have to respect it." I mean, this is the worst thing about religion, teaching that respect must be given, not earned, and that love is conditional.
Astonished,
Christianity deserves absolutely NO RESPECT whatsoever! Only the inept pseudo-christian mind set demands this erroneous notion.
Subjectively, no Atheist could ever respect the primitive Bronze and Iron Age faith of Christianity, or its followers that have their
Yahweh god as being greedy, jealous, selfish, self-centered, petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser;
a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capricious, and malevolent!
The descriptions shown above regarding their primitive god concept are without question within their primitive bibles, and as one example
of many, how is the rational thinking mind of the Atheist suppose to show respect to their faith that explicitly shows their Yahweh god brutally
killing innocent zygotes, fetus.' and babies as in the following passage? I don't think so!
"As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth even from the womb and from the conception.Though they bring up their sons,
yet I will bereave them, that there shall not be a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, is planted in a
pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his sons to the murderer. Give them, O LORD, that which thou must give them; give them
a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. All their wickedness was in Gilgal, for there I took a dislike to them; for the wickedness of their doings
I will drive them out of my house, I will never love them again: all their princes are disloyal. Ephraim was smitten, their root is dried up;
they shall bear no more fruit; even though they bring forth, yet I will slay even the desirable fruit of their womb.” (Hosea 9: 11-16)
Relative to the above disgusting biblical passage, don't forget, hypocritical pseudo-christian fools state that abortion is wrong. Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S?
Christianity is a damaging and disgusting faith that is unfortunately still with us in the 21st century because of inept and weak minds that can still swallow the
deplorable doctrine of its Bronze and Iron Age cultist belief.
