"I guess you'd get all wound up if I told you to turn the other cheek, wouldn't you?"
Why would I? Turning the other cheek is bad advice, BTW. Taking away the right of self-defense is idiotic.
"You asked if it was normal for people who believe a certain way to want respect for their beliefs, and that answer is always going to be yes. Of course it's normal that they "whine" about respect; everyone wants to have his or her core beliefs treated with respect -- even if those beliefs are distasteful."
I indeed asked if it is normal for people who believe a certain way to want respect for their beliefs. You're also right that the answer to that is always gonna be yes. However, I think people with beliefs they KNOW are distasteful to others, should realize it's unreasonable to be asking those very same people for respect. I mean, hello?
I'm truly sorry your sister died, and I do not for one second believe she is burning in hell. That was a disgusting statement from that Christian piece of shit. I DO know there are also a lot of nice Christians who DON'T believe that. I don't hate those, because they indeed are good people.
However, they are also hypocrites, because, although the Bible is very contradictory about hell (as it is on HUNDREDS of other topics), the view that non-believers will suffer forever in hell REALLY IS dominant.
My beliefs aren't disrespectful in THEMSELVES, they are merely a RESPONSE to your Christian belief.
I consider your beliefs vile and you consider my beliefs vile, I get that, but I don't believe Christians deserve (and will) be tortured forever, whilst you DO believe that the other way around. So, who's the nicer person here?
I never said they were disrespectful. I said that they were distasteful. Besides that, your beliefs aren't disrespectful, but the way your shoving them down people's throats like "Christians" do, is disrespectful. And hey, it's your choice to get tortured in hell. You don't have to be tortured if you don't want to be.
"I never said they were disrespectful. I said that they were distasteful."
Just a silly little wordgame.
"Besides that, your beliefs aren't disrespectful, but the way your shoving them down people's throats like "Christians" do, is disrespectful."
Maybe so, but I think I'm perfectly justified in doing so.
"You don't have to be tortured if you don't want to be."
Of course I don't want to be. However, according to the Bible, you must believe certain absurd and immoral things, in that case. I believe they call that blackmail.
Is it normal Christians whine about respect?

Oh, so you believe you shouldn't have respect? Because your beliefs are distasteful to me.
