I don't think many of the generalizations made here about theists is correct.
What generalizations?
We are mentally ill, we blindly follow, we are irrational, we are less intelligent, we are less empathetic, we only do good for the sake of heavenly reward, pretty much all the damned threads, we are less mature, we don't think for ourselves, we only believe because "it's nice", we do not accept responsibility for our own actions because we are simply following orders, we are not properly raised, we are self centered...
Just to name a few I've seen lol.
"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."
