What KUSA said.
You wouldn't say there is no truth because there is ignorance of it, I presume? Why should it be any different with human rights?
My question for BrokenQuill would be, what gives you THOSE rights and what makes it my duty to respect them?
Just wanna say I really appreciate the questions you're asking and the things you're saying. This is kind of the discussion I hoped to have with you guys when I created my "why be good" thread. But that did not happen lol. Too many people were focusing too much on my title as Catholic to really have a genuine conversation with me about what they thought. I should have disguised myself as an atheist when I made that thread.
"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."
