respect their RIGHT to believe as they wish?
this question came to me while answering a recent question about respect being automatic or earned.
if you automatically give respect to someone's beliefs, that means you respect that they think it's ok to molest children, or use drugs, or run around naked, or sacrafice animals or whatever it is that they believe. this is crazy and how cults get away with crazy things.
i don't think you need to respect anyone's beliefs, just their right to have them. this way they can't claim to be doing something in the name of religion and try to get a away with it. take for example all the people who commit horrible crimes and say "the devil made me do it"
what do you think?
