Another question to Atheists. Do you think people that believe in a creator are just ignorant or do you respect their personal beliefs?

Do you think people that believe in a creator are just ignorant or do you respect their personal beliefs?

- I have no problem with a persons beliefs. But when they lie under oath in court to force it into my class rooms and try and force it down everyone's throat, then it becomes a public and very serious issue, then I have no respect for them or their beliefs.

Another question to Christians. Do you think people do not believe in a creator are just ignorant or do you respect non-believers?

Does it bother you that someone has a faith-based personal belief? No it does not bother me at all.

Do you look down someone who believes in a creator? Why do you ask such question? I certainly will not look up to those believe in a creator.

Why do you ask for respect? Do you think you are the centre of the universe or do you think you are the centre of humanity?

I am an ex-Catholic and I have not heard that God; Jesus, Holy Spirit, Mother Mary and the entire Court of Heaven asks: “Please respect me?” I have learned that Jesus said to His disciples to respect others and respect other religions. Read the traditional old bible.

Do you believe in God because you want people to respect you? Did Jesus believe in God because He wanted to be respected? Are you telling the entire world that Jesus is backing up egocentrism?

I don't look down on anyone for their own beliefs. Anyone who acts like a normal person and does not look down on or judge others, and leaves people alone about their own beliefs... I have no problem with those people. Their beliefs are their business, no matter if I agree or not.

Now, if someone is an ignorant person, has an ignorant attitude toward people who's beliefs are different or whom they think isn't it following it "right" enough, or uses their beliefs to feel justified in being ignorant or hateful toward others... those people are a different matter.

My own irritation is not directed at the decent theists who are normal, nice people.

Of course not that depends on the person if we are having a friendly discussion or debate and we respect each others opinions then of course not.People who believe in a creator are not ignorant many people are brought to believe that.But what religious people shouldn't do is condemn other people if they don't believe in the same God as them what gives them the right to say which bulls*** is right.And Religion should play no part in the Justice system or have to play a part in our daily lives if we don't want it to other than that I have got no problem with religious people.

I can fully understand why some people (most people in the world, as it happens) believe in a creator and I can respect that. But I cannot respect religious dogma and I cannot respect people who hold to religious beliefs based on what they were told to believe. They are no more than pulpit fodder.

Another Question to Atheist

.Do you think people that believe in a creator are ignorant ,

or do you respect their personal beliefs

I question Why they believe there is a creator .

Ignorant is defined as an Adjective to describe a person in a STATE of being unaware or DELIBERATELY ignore or disregard important information or Facts

. Ignorance is differentiated from the word Stupidity . which is defined as lack of intelligence

Next the word RESPECT people many times do not know what the meaning of this word is Let us see Does definition # 1 fit people who believe in a creator .To respect you I must have a DEEP Admiration for someone or something ELICITED by their Abilities , Qualities .. or Achievements. so why would I admire your ability to believe in a creator ? What qualities are those to believe something not demonstrated in reality . And to admire the achievement to ignore reality and accept something without proof of it existing

. Definition # 2 due regard for the feelings . wishes . rights and traditions of others that definition I do respect your right to have beliefs . What some people do with those beliefs I have issue with. the actions , and the actions of some to impose those beliefs on others ,

judge others by them . and expect others to live by someone else beliefs ,

If your beliefs are benign as in the word means without harm to life or others having little or no detrimental effect fine , But the religious many times are not

. Some people do not limit their beliefs . they judge others and present that their belief is correct and all should adopt it . and people not accepting that belief are inferior . evil . immoral.. love sin. the list is long , we have all heard them. what does devaluing others represent . not respecting my rights .

I welcome anyone to question my atheism . it is one issue , in other words You can ask me why I do not accept Theist claims of god . because that is ALL atheism addresses .

When a person Devalues me questions my Character. morals , life style .sexuality .actions , behavior . none of which has anything to do with atheism the not accepting a claim then I can only respect their right to believe something . but I do not admire them for not knowing the difference . then they are ignorant as well as stupid as in lack of intelligence

. Intelligence defined as ability to acquire and apply knowledge .

thank you for the question

I respect their beliefs. But my respect for them ends at the 6,000 year old earth. That's where I have to deny them my respect. You cannot study biology or the earth sciences and still hold on to young earth creationism. To hold onto that belief you have to lie to yourself and create a narrative in which all the scientists are full of the devil and lying. You have to conclude that there's some kind of conspiracy in the scientific community to bring your religion down. But that's not the case.

If you're not willing to study geology, volcanology, earthquakes, biology, and other proofs, there's really nothing that I can say to help you out of your skewed beliefs.

I think most decent human beings respect other peoples beliefs, but let's be honest, there are many Christians who disrespect anyone who doesn't have the same beliefs as them. In a free civilised society we have freedom of religion and freedom from religion.

1) some are ignorant, some are stupid, some are neither but have nothing else that makes their life livable

2) I no more respect nor disrespect somebody's beliefs than I would the colour of their eyes, skin or hair

Its part of who they are,

I either respect them personally for who they are or I dont

(people earn respect (just as they earn disrespect) - they dont have it as a right

there are 3 states as to how I regard people

respect

direspect

indifference)

Neither i respect them as a person as much as i do any random person. The second they talk about oppressing their beliefs on others i don't have respect. And they are a little ignorant but not much they were probably indoctrinated.
