Here are two questions for you.

Why can't you respect others just because they think differently to you?

Why do you disrespect others simply because they are different to you?

Respect for others is not respect for yourself. That's what's called a sweeping statement. Do you respect Stalin's purges because he believed in them? That essentially answers your two questions - which are in fact the one question but phrased differently. Why should I respect in belief systems that don't respect me?

As for my swearing - it is incredibly irrelevant to this discussion. I swear. You don't. Leave it out. I may swear, but I do not suggest that other users of this forum are paedophiles, kid.
