So what do you guys think?
I don't think all beliefs "should be" respected. That choice should always be optional. And its not a persons beliefs i respect but rather the individual. I personally don't have a problem with what people believe so as long as they don't use it as an excuse to cause harm or impose on others. Though i'm likely to put the blame on the person not their beliefs. Their beliefs are only an excuse to me. I'm the only openly non believer in my family and i can respect and get along with just about every family member despite our differences in beliefs. Though they're are a few who like to impose and those are the ones i avoid interacting with.
