Thread wasn't that old, but you can call it old if you want.

It's pretty hard to say that violent views are an interpretation of a religion that actively speaks against violence. But you can go down that way too if you'd like. It's a common thing to believe.

The answer to why we should respect people's religious beliefs are simple. Prove you are a better person by not following they're path. Most of the time, a person doesn't choose their religion actively, they just grow into it because it is what they're parents believed. Does that make them less worthy of respect that they would want to be more like their parents? I suppose that would depend on what other things their parents did.

Still, with so many other things to get angry with people about. Religion is a very minor one. There are more people, even within the church, that don't agree with the anti-gay statements given out by those few hardcore believers. However, there are not as many willing to stand up and admit it, which gives the impression that there are more who follow that belief than there are who don't. So in that, I suppose you could say they are less worthy of respect since they are unwilling to stand up for what they believe in. But as I said, there are bigger things to get angry over.

No those pants don't make your butt look big. It doesn't need any help looking big.
