I respect ppl who respect me

No, you should leave them to believe in whatever they want to. Just as they should leave you to your own belief

i treat ppl with respect... even those i don't respect personally.

I don't kid myself I know enough to 'educate' them, nor them me for that matter.

if you're not hurting anybody.... why would i care ?
Just don't knock on my door when i'm trying to sleep in.

what if (god forbid) a robber came to your house and said, hey, ive come to rob you of everything you own. you will respect them and tell them to go right ahead?

i know you wouldnt.

that is the root of it- the principles. you need to stand for something.

u have no idea what respect is so really no point in engagin in a 'debate' with someone who plays devil's advocate even when they aren't even makin valid points. so hush darl'..

what if a religious group ran in a political party and could take over your country? you would vote against or for them, depending on your beliefs. that is not respecting them, its taking action to prevent them taking control.

that's a fair point. the IRA springs to mind

hahaha i know what respect is. its something you share mutually. you dont respect those who are against you or who's values clash with your own. thats hypocrisy and foolishness. corruption

If it's not affecting you, how is it any of those things?

so you respect a burglar as long as he's burgling your neighbours and not you? haha

The original question was about respecting someone's beliefs.

the Irish spilt alot of blood cause it was their belief they had a right to rule themselves... According to most in this post that was wrong. America did the same

Treatin someone with respect is somethin we all should do imo, whether I like them or not, whether they deserve it or not, I respect myself so it comes naturally to me.. Votin against somethin I don't believe in is not being disrespectful at all. As long as they aren't hurtin anyone, they are free to run for parliament, I respect their right to do that. As my right not to vote for them should be respected. If u still don't get that? U aren't worth another reply.

Depends who my neighbour is.

I don't think anyone has the right to hurt others in the name of their 'beliefs'. That's a totally different issue.

the fact is people do get hurt because of people's beliefs and it all depends on what side your on as to whether it's right or wrong... To say beliefs are ok as long as no-one gets hurt is naive in the extreme

if s**t hits the fan the point of as long as they aren't harmin anyone is moot, so ur argument is no argument.
