It's kind of hard to be respectful of your beliefs when you're so disrespectful of what others choose to believe here. Yet, we are....
In the above post you say everyone is free to believe what they like...yet the majority of your posts say otherwise....Hmmm...am i missing something?
even for atheists, these.....
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy (you need a rest now and then)
Honor thy father and thy mother
Thou shalt not murder
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shalt not covet
and I would certainly expect you to like the one about not worshipping graven images......
atheists shouldn't have imaginary morals......
Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Hello TOP,
I don't care if you respect my beliefs or not as long as you don't try to make it about me. The way I see it, simply allowing other people to believe whatever they want is being respectful enough as far as that is concerned.
Stating why you believe differently is not showing disrespect. It's just people listening to one another explain why they believe the things they do. Gives others a different perspective to compare to their own belief system. Most people are pretty well settled in their beliefs so changing anybody's mind about something is rare, but it does occur. I have certainly adjusted my views after hearing why others believe differently. The talking about stuff is the good thing. Taking some time to examine a subject, search aspects of it, read up a little, learn some more, it all helps refine views. That's why I am not so much into the interpersonal games so common here. If you've noticed, I just mainly want to focus on the actual subject at hand.
I probably spend just as much time researching the topics I discuss here at JPP as I spend actively reading or making posts.
