Respecting Religious Beliefs
quote:
Yes I knew when I wrote it that I was setting up that very response. Interesting that the same logic applies whether the belief system is true or false.
it isn't really interesting, just giving you the benefit of the doubt. You see you didn't make that distinction - and if you did the question arises of who gets to decide which belief systems are true ? You would be reduced to special pleading or evading the question pretty quickly because yet the belief you don't want contradicted is pretty clearly false to most of us here.
One day you really ought to try and grasp one basic fact about principles - if you really believe in a principle you don't apply it only when it is convenient for you. That's why the ACLU will defend the rights of people that they disagree with - it's a stand on principle.
And that is something that deserves more respect than a mere belief.
