"no i do not respect your religious beliefs"
" I respect you as long as you respect me"

Seen as religious beliefs make up a large percentage of who a person is and what they believe. Just as political viewpoints do. Does this mean that the second statement contradicts the first. Just a question. Or is it more, i personally don't respect what you believe but I respect you so will critique your religion in a respectful manner?

If we see a belief that someone holds as stupid how can we respect it?
We can respect a right to hold a stupid belief though.

Each to their own.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
