religious friends

RE: religious friends
Yes there's no reason why religious beliefs should be respected any more than any other beliefs.
The idea that such delusional and potentially dangerous beliefs that have no supporting evidence to back them up and are claimed to be true... are expected to be respected! - Is extremely arrogant of the believer in fact! Scientists often go about to try and disprove each other. And to disprove themselves!
I think religious beliefs not only shouldn't be respected because there's no reason. I think there are good reasons why they deserve some disrespect in fact.
I don't disrespect believers without good reason (as with eveyone else). But I DO disrespect the beliefs they hold. The idea that such absurd claims about reality should be allowed - and expected them to not be questioned is not only delusional, like I said - its also potentially dangerous.
