Do you belive in God

[falcon9]

When you cross the line into disrespect, it is indeed, none of your business.  Once again, your dissenting remarks are more than that - they are just plain rude and thoughtless.

Says you.  While of course maintaining that INITIAL presumptuously-rude and disrespectful, (of the beliefs/non-beliefs of others), religious proselytization is somehow 'not' rude, presumptuous, sanctimonious and disrespectful of others.  Your continued hypocrisy and disingenuous claims of respect for other beliefs/philosophies has already been noted.  Have you ever considered that these are responses in reply to rude, presumptuous, sanctimonious and disrespectful initial posts made by religious adherents who do not perceive them as such precisely due to their religion-colored glasses?  Of course not, otherwise you realize that the religious adherents already crossed that line by posting such in the first place and not keep beating that same poor horse.

Again, the INITIAL postings of topics by posters, whether religious or nonreligious, are NOT presumptuously rude and disrespectful.  They may go against the grain of your beliefs and/or non-beliefs, but it's what you do with your own actions with those posts that make for the direction they end up going in.  And I'm not speaking of you personally, but with anyone who goes in and disrespects someone's post just because that post is hated or not agreeable with their thoughts.

Christians seem to be always held to a "perfect and higher" standard, when actually, Christians are just human like everyone else.  Everyone, whether a believer or not, of different color, of difference levels of standing in society, of being a parent or not, etc., should all be held to a higher standard of respect to anyone else whenever warranted, expected, and needed.  We definitely aren't going to all agree with each others' thoughts and opinions, but we should go out of our way to respect other peoples' thoughts and opinions, unless we have been given a reason or invite to debate or discuss such issues at length, and even then, we should be respectful in our attitudes and speech toward one another.
