I don't need to respect your opinion that you think homosexual sex is immoral, or that you think the catholic church is a force of good in the world, or I especially don't need to respect someone's opinion that radical muslims, killing non-believers, is something to be respected. We don't need to be told to respect crazy opinions regarding religion, when we're on an atheist forum.
Did I do any of that?
I've seen you write that you thought homosexual sex was immoral on here, for sure. I didn't claim all that other stuff, although I'm sure you think the catholic church is a force for good in the world, since you adhere to it. Yes, you think we need to respect your opinions even though we think they're immoral. The muslim one, was an example of an opinion that shouldn't be respected, along with the other two. I didn't say you said all of those things, but I'm simply saying that we don't have to respect people's opinions/religions, when we consider them to be highly immoral, ridiculous, and many times, an obvious force/excuse for evil in this world.
