Ok. So I guess believing in God would automatically disqualify me then. I do think a non believer can formulate ethics/morality without belief in God, because of natural law. But I still ultimately think those exist because God exists.
"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."
