Pft. Religion shouldn't have carte blanche to be respected by non believers.

I myself believe in space wolves. They can't be proven to exist, but they visit me each night and tell me to dropkick people in the face and that bread is sacred and not to be heated.

Don't make toast.

Respect my beliefsz ~~~.

See how riddiculous it is?

Facts are the only thing that should be respected.

I'm pretty much the same mindset as this (but I dont believe in space wolves...worshipping moomins is more my thing ). But I also think if they are going to punish one, they should punish others for the same thing, otherwise its not really very fair and is prejudice in a way :/

Then let you perish in canine hell, along with all the other non believers and people deemed unfit to join the ranks of the Grand Party by Big Daddy Wolfenstein.

I don't believe this statement. I don't think beliefs should be forced on people, and I don't think people should HAVE to accept beliefs.... I just don't think you should be blatently disrespectfull to peoples beliefs, mainly because it is just plain rude.

And what if I find some of the beliefs outlined in the Koran 'rude' ... to put it lightly?

I'm sure I'm going to be burning myself in hell for an eternity. Are you telling me I can't burn a book for five minutes?

I guess you could burn a book for five minutes, if you were to feel thats the best way you could express your views... however, I also think it's common courtesy and respect to do this in private, and not go boasting about it on facebook knowing it will hurt individuals. I also think this applies to Muslims etc. who do the same.

If ones personal belief that another belief is obcene then one has a perfect right to disrespect that belief........To pretend to respect another belief when you don't is hypocritical........

No one can go through life not offending or being offended........It's impossible.......But that is what the mad brigade political correctness nutters think is possible......

Maybe I'm not expressing my views very well, I guess you can diasagree with peoples views, although this should be done in a respectfull way. For example, a debate on the Qur'an rather than burning it and bragging about burning it.

Thats a good point - however, the Koran is a holy book that is the backbone of many peoples lifes; people interpret it in different ways (some, in unjustifiable ways) but I don't think it is right to burn it and brag about it. Do we really need more religious hatred?

I know you could say now that I am not giving it full respect saying some interpretations are 'unjustifiable' but I think in situations like this it is good to use some common sense as to what is 'moral' as such.

The word HOLY in bold.......Dear oh dear. When one uses the word HOLY it has the same meaning as SINISTER. HOLY controls peoples minds........It's evil in its most profound form........One should do nothing else but disrespect evil.......
