Why does this more feel like somone stole this from an old racists Facebook post?
I respect people and their beliefs as long as they respect other people and theirs.
I don’t have time for people who use force to make others believe in their god. I didn’t put up with Christianity being forced down my throat in primary school, and that stance won’t change, however; if people want to politely talk about it, I won’t shut them down.
Use that intelligence to talk about your point of view. If they don’t want to change their mind, how is that insulting? For some people, the belief in god/s is a comfort in this shitty world that helps them get through the day. I have no problem with that.
I don’t have a problem with that either but what I do have a problem with is people who believe in fairy tails being able to vote and influence the laws I am forced to live under.
So In general I just hate religion.
Respect is a reservoir. It fills slowly, and when the damn breaks, it empties all at once. Once that happens, it doesn’t fill up again until the damn is repaired.
A man can believe whatever he wants, but when he spouts off some racist bullshit, suddenly all of the redirect for his beliefs fades away too. Everything he said before is tainted, and I’ve no reason to respect any of it.
“I can’t do that because of my religion”
That’s okay.
“You can’t do that because of my religion”
Not okay.
Everybody gets a base level respect, they can either earn more, stay the same of lose it.
They can nevere get respect by demanding it
