Yes, a person's religious beliefs, if they are devout, is a HUGE part of who they are.The thing is that if such a person has such core values and beliefs it simply wouldn't matter if someone makes fun of them. Do KKK members change their views when people make fun of them? Did Nazis change their views when we made fun of them in our WWII propaganda? Did the early Christians usually change their views when they were being laughed at while dying in the Roman arenas? Do the Westboro Baptist Church nuts change their views when people make fun of them? Did people respect the views of the flat earthers? Embrace your insanity and delusions. They are yours. Take pride in them. Love them. Cherish them. They are what make you, you.
It's basically like saying, "I'm not making fun of you, just making fun of your most core values and principles, what you stand for, and the things you hold most dear in your heart."
Lol, this is the second time I've been compared to the KKK on these forums. As you see, I'm not going ballistic.
"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."
