I do not think things like "virgin births", for example, should be "respected" as claims, much less valued as a claim. However we, as atheists show a "lack of respect" when we question it. In that context we are bruising their egos and why should any of us as atheists avoid the truth that it takes TWO sets of DNA to manifest into a baby? Would it be ok to to still go around claiming the sun is a god even though it is not?

The point is the word "respect" is blurred far too often merely so someone can avoid conflict or avoid the prospect that they might be wrong.

I fully understand your view, however the context I am using the term is for the narrow minded. I wasn't going that deep with the meaning since well, I've had to pretty much deal with simpletons to this point. It is refreshing that I can now be intellectually challenged in discussions since here, obviously, the intelligence level is much higher.

So if some of what I post is simplistic, I apologize in advance, just getting used to the surroundings.
