70. You say it right in post #15 that instant respect should be expected because she's a human being

"Just because you don't understand or approve of their choices does not mean they're not worthy of your respect, even if it's just as another human being. "



I'm just not wired that way. It doesn't make me bigoted or racist (I'm biracial by the way).

I'm courteous, give and expect common decency. But "instant respect", just because they're a human being?

Nope.

Furthermore, just because someone is religious doesn't automatically confer respect, even as you ALSO say that NOT automatically respecting you for whatever religion you wear makes me some kind of lesser being. ("If my choice of religion disqualifies me from your respect, I don't want it.&quot Scientology, Olympianism, Norse gods, Mayan sacrifice... to Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Wiccan... why is it that we must confer respect for one over another? Or confer respect to any of them automatically? So because of your religion, and my lack of respect thereof, you actually have rejected me first, even as my "lack of respect" for YOUR religion is actually a lack of respect for religion in todo.

See how that works? Round and round we go. Whose disrespectful first?

You seem to be dissing Adrahil just because he doesn't automatically respect a Muslimah or anyone else right away. Maybe I'm reading your words wrong but they seem pretty straightforward to me.

For me, its simple. Everybody gets common decency. Some get respect, after they've earned it.
