I'd agree that respect is earned,

But I also think people tend to give it automatically to certain situations and positions,

Though even in such automatic givens, said respect can be lost.

And these 'give'ins, depend on culture.

Parents, Children, other people, positions in society whether garbage man, teacher, government, certain ideas and concepts depending on culture.

I prefer people deserving respect,

Deserving obedience (To an extent) per circumstance.

Of Islam, I 'really don't know much, and can't speak much.

Though 'most ideologies I've read of, whether Atheist, Theist, Democratic, Monarchy,

Can be turned on their heads, depending on the actors, the circumstance so to speak.

One minute, 10 seconds in, An American Carol: Radicals Christians

There 'have been times in history, regions, individuals, groups,

Of 'many a belief, again, 'Including Atheism,

Where they have been less than savory, to our current values,

Of which even all of ours on this forum, vary.

. . .

Sorry I'm a bit lazy in addressing your points, I'm going to try to cheat,

But would you say your reasons boil down to different culture and values?

You can't separate a philosophy that you think is hate filled from the people who practice it. No one says white supremacy sucks but I can hang out with white supremacist. I am sure atheists will say "sure we can" but that's a lie. No one does that. So you can say it to please some here, I know better.
- Polytheist-Witch, Post #60

Daryl Davis - Wikipedia

Of course, that's an extreme example,

It'd be even easier for a white guy to hang out with a racist white friend, or a black guy to hang out with a racist black friend,

Probably be annoying if they bring up their belief too much, maybe a dealbreaker if they act violently on it,

But I expect in history, many people have put aside their personal convictions, and continued to 'hang out with other individuals regardless.

Depends a bit how one 'defines white supremacist, I suppose, how active,

But even with the active, some people can hang out with such,

Depends on the circumstance,

Be more likely for people to hang out with supremacists when it was/is acceptable in a society.

More likely for people to hang out with supremacists if their belief isn't taken to extents one can't stomach.

So, how would you take action, in this hate you have, for your idea/perspective Islam?

Voice it?

Advocate for legislation?

Call for society to condemn it and all it's connected to?

Other?

One respects the table saw, that buzzes the very air with it's turning, and destructive power,

One respects the rain, and it's implications for crops, road conditions,

One respects the concept of an angle, for it's various contributions to architecture and furniture construction.

What I'm getting at, is that I think beliefs warrant respect, IN GENERAL.

Of course, we're going to give 'less respect to beliefs we disagree with, for various reasons, be they logic, aesthetics, culture, so on.

But there's 'something respectable, about beliefs that 'drive individuals and groups,

One doesn't always 'like them, or appreciate their results.

But one respects the power they have.

. . .

Though I suppose some beliefs have 'less power than others,

Whether because it's a weak belief, or the belief has a weak hold in an individual or culture.

Monster under the bed, weak belief,

Though it's well to respect it, in how one handles their children's fear of it.

Though if an adult had such a fear, it-

I'm going off topic.

. . .

I stick with the respect of power argument.

As well as the psychological reasoning that when other's respect something, your approach matters.

(Edit)

Though I can understand people disrespecting an idea they think is stupid (Any idea, I'm not saying Theism is stupid)

I also think a reason for some anti-theists disrespect for theism, is a dumbing down for the 'reasons theism exists, theisms implications, and contributions.

But said dumbing down, can exist for many ideas,

Sometimes a laugh and making light can work, but that's usually only if the other person can quickly see your perspective, and I mean 'truly see your perspective.

Which requires great similarity of thought, environment, nature.

Though often that similarity, though great, comes about easily.

People of similar nature, upbringing, intelligence, knowledge, culture.

hating the religion doesn't mean hating people who follow it ,we judge people based on their personalities not their religions

but we judge religions based on their teachings , god/gods , ideologies , history and many other things , the actions of the person delivering the message of god (since he's god chosen)

@Lunar108

I sometimes think people 'are their ideas. . .

But that thought aside, I'd agree people often attempt to put their passion against the concepts, rather than the individual.

Though I don't recall hate the sin, not the sinner in the Bible, and I am going by paltry Wikipedia research,

Matthew 7:1

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Chrysostom: Wherefore He does not say, ‘Do not cause a sinner to cease,’ but do not judge; that is, be not a bitter judge; correct him indeed, but not as an enemy seeking revenge, but as a physician applying a remedy.

Still, despite such attempts to direct one's passion against the concept, rather than the individual, the individual usually winds up related.

Whether in hatred of drugs in an individual, action must be taken, if proactive, such as an intervention led by qualified professionals, rehab.

(In the best of cases)

In worse, well,

People often rail against America's war on crime,

We saw in history how the Communists in Russian, led their war against 'capitalism, yet so many of their people suffered in it.

Though that's not a dig at Russia or Communism, so much as hating the concept, not the person.

All the 'world, has it's share of concepts, and those who follow them, entangled.

Nope. It is clearly your own misguided misunderstanding of the nature and purpose of a forum on the WWW , Reverend "Tradey".

I posted and I can choose not to answer as well.

I agree. And that wasn't my point, as you well know.

Just like you refused to answer the question others have put to you.

Stop telling lies.

You just refuse to answer questions.

So to be perfectly clear- I choose when I want to answer. And whether i answer or not - is no reflection upon whether I have an answer or not .

Nope. It is purposeful avoidance for lack of a reply or answer which you often come up against.

It may well do Rosi.

The difference here I believe is that it leaves judgment (hell fire) to god. What the Christ of the Christians doesn't command is for his followers to go out into the world and convert everyone "until all religion is for Allah" by the sword as does the god of Muslims.

Although it is well documented that Christians by their own vocation, have butchered hundreds of thousands in the name of their Christ/god.

I like you Zed. This is the reason I keep coming back to this. But surely - your own foolishness is eating you up inside?

Repentance is necessary when you sin. We all know it is true. Guilt eats everyone up.

I don't tell lies. Do you remember being asked about whether you were atheist or not? You refused to answer. It was not my question. Ironically, it was one of your pseudo alternatives. But that is a matter for you.

I believe I remember being asked that question. And I did answer it. I said simply that " I believe many of the stories in the bible minus the miracles . I also said that I believe many of the characters in the bible existed adding that I found the Old Testamant to be more truthful than the New Testament. So what that makes me is down to the individual outsider looking in".

So if that is your best example of me "not answering questions" you are a fkn none starter, you contradictory clown.

I understand this distinction and, yes, it is an important one, and the butchering that occurred over the years was one step removed from a direct edict to behead, but I'm just thinking about the underlying approach/attitude towards others outside the particular faith. Isn't each religion teaching that those who don't accept its theological paradigm are destined, by definition, to violent punishment? While in one, the purveyors are in this world, and in the other, in the next world, each looks at the "outsider" as unworthy on a grand scale.

Like I have said. One appears to leave punishment in "gods " hands in the " here after" , while the other is punishment of death in the hear and now. Personally I would rather take my chances in the "next world" as I have been quite attached to my head for sometime now, Rosi and don't like the idea of losing it on the whim of some barbarian claiming it is his duty to remove my head from my body because his moon splitting prophet or god has commanded it if I do not convert.

Quran 8:39
And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease - then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.

While in one, the purveyors are in this world, and in the other, in the next world, each looks at the "outsider" as unworthy on a grand scale.

And how these purveyors only look at the outsider as untrustworthy is where it should remain; in one's minds only.

Sin, guilt and repentance.

As opposed to being slightly dishonest, worrying a tad and either owning up or not bothering to own up.

And then there's everything or anything in between.

And I think that original sin was sort of a sexual motivated phobia.

And repentance...Perhaps a good flogging of the buttocks....Was a sexually motivated philia.

Glory be......The perversity of religion.....And humans in general.

And as sure as HELL!......Guilt doesn't eat me up Trade.....HaHa.

Does guilt really eat you up Trade?

Do you spend your life repenting for every little indiscretion?

@FLRW

The men who wrote the Bible claimed Mary submitted obediently when she became the Mother of God. That does not mean she was not raped.

I think that's exactly what it means.

She was raped because she could not possibly have consented.

Why not?

The Biblical narrative makes it clear Mary was afraid.

Afraid of the divine phallus or the responsibility with which she was charged?

She had no idea what the consequences would be for refusing her assigned role as Mother of God.

Yes, she did. She was a child of Israel. Her obedience to God was not informed by ignorance.

Consent to impregnation presumes a relationship of equals which cannot possibly be presumed between a young teen girl and an omnipotent Father God. There was an enormous difference in power. The youngest age of consent in the United States is 16, and an eternal Father God would not pass for an age-gap exception to United States statutory rape laws.

Consent presumes a reflection of one's intent and values, which can be, but not necessarily restricted to, a relationship between "equals." Second, the lowest age of consent is 11 years old (in Nigeria, I believe) which is a lot closer to Nazareth than the yet to be formed United States. Third, in the Judaic religion, a girl reaches womanhood at the age of 12 (the term Bat Mitzvah is used by Caucasian Jews); and last, what do think mattered to Mary more: the decrees of the United States which wasn't around then, or the commands of her God?

You're arguing a nonsensical legal absolute.

Poly, please answer this simple question. If God made Adam and Eve out of dust, why did he have to impregnate a 14 year old virgin to get his son?

Greek God-human breeding was actually very, very common in Greek myth. Zeus and the other Olympians were constantly and permanently knocking up princesses, queens, nymphs, sirens, lesser goddesses, warrior women and just plain fair maidens who bathed in the pool with their handmaidens. And the handmaidens, too, sometimes. Zeus even managed to impregnate mortal women when he was a swan or a bull.

See how brain lesions in the religious mind work?
