How are you any different than they? In the same way they are disrespectful you are disrespectful. You return evil for evil, cursing for cursing, hate for hate. But hate begets hate and violence begets violence.
Oh, I can supply a few differences. For one, those who picket funerals have earned contempt through their actions, whereas their victims have not. The two examples aren't really comparable, given that the picketers are causing pain to innocent families, which is what prompts our dislike; you can hardly claim they don't deserve it.
Quote:What will mocking someone's beliefs accomplish but make you look like a mocker? What will cursing and bitter words get you? What credit is it to you if you act as the very one's you condemn.
Cheap equivocation aside, what will it accomplish? Well, it might make those we mock rethink their beliefs. If someone had a sincere belief that was causing harm to themselves or others, are you saying that belief should be preserved above and beyond the people they're harming?
You justify your own hatred and mockery and bitterness in the same manner that those who you mock justify theirs.
If they earn contempt by doing what they do then by the same token you earn contempt yourself for you do the very same things they do.
But if I love you then no matter what you say about me as a person or my beliefs I will not mock you or curse you or hate you. I may try to reason with you and show you that hate breeds hate. But if I love you I will respect you as a human being. That does not mean I have to agree with you. It does mean that I still must love you and want only the best for you.

You do realize you think the earth is possibly flat?
I am not afraid of homosexuals. I have several friends and relatives who are openly gay. I at one point in my life had very strong feelings and an attraction for a friend of mine who happened to be a man. I can relate to what they feel and how they think.
I do not agree with their lifestyle but I love them and respect them and treat them the way i would want to be treated.
