we didn't respect hitler's beliefs because he was a mass murderer. it's the same shit as someone who kills someone here in america, they lose their rights for commiting a crime.
what harm will it do to respect someone who carries themselves with a certain amount of self respect, and respect for others, including YOUR mind?
i am agnostic, which means i don't know anything about this whole faith stuff. i don't really care either. we don't KNOW anything. there may be something greater, there may not, NOBODY knows for sure, and those who claim to KNOW FOR SURE that there is a greater form then i believe they are liars.
however, i respect greatly those who hold themselves strictly to a religion. most religions teach respect, self respect, caring for others, the poor, and the less fortunate, which is something i admire.
a lot of religious people have very healthy morals, but are also open minded in a healthy sense, not so strict sense.
there's nothing wrong with this, and there's no reason you should hate these people. they do nothing wrong to you, and if your saying they try to impose their beliefs upon you, you're just whining.
an example, 'taking "god" off the pledge of aleigence'. people who want to remove the word god from the pledge are just whiny little dumb bitches in my opinion. tell your kid, say that shit, but never believe it. that's all you have to do. you dont have to believe in it, and that's all that matters.
on the other hand, there are also the conservative religions, who don't have any liberal or open minded sense at all. these are the people who i strongly dislike. they are stuck in their own little religious life full of do's and dont's. but even after this, you still should learn to respect others, no matter how strict their views on life are. in the end they are just human like you.
again, i am agnostic. i don't believe in any religions, nor can i say i am atheist because i don't know if there is something greater. if there isn't then ok whatever, if there is, then ok cool whatever, either way YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THERE IS AND WHAT THERE ISN'T.
