Well that also works with, "Disrespect the belief, not the believer."
Unfortunately people are too thin skinned and take comments about their beliefs as a personal attack. Hell, I've had believers who take my lack of belief in their deity as a personal attack against them.
I agree, however "hate" and "disrespect" are two very different things, well at least in my eyes that is.
If someone where to spout out something so ridiculously pathetic and truly not worth any of my time I wouldn't necessary respect them, I wouldn't hate them though.
Agreed. We can argue the wording but I believe the premise, in general, is sound.
Welcome, by the way.
