Quoting catwoman:


I don't understand why does EVERYBODY at any time have to respect your beliefs??? I think that's unfair to those who disagree with you and have DIFFERENT beliefs.


İ must say that is one of the strangest questions i ever heared .
Well,because we are human and we tend to respect each other ?!
Because we dont live in a jungle which we should fight when we dont agree with each other ?
Respect someone beliefs is respecting the person himself
Because you represent your beliefs
You live,act accourding to what you believe or else you would be hypocrite,believing something and doing something else.
There is much difference between AGREE with that beliefs and RESPECT it.
Of course everyone has the right to agree or disagree ,that İS democracy.
But also,if you disagree , they still have the right you respect what they believe,and that İS democracy too.

i find it a bit funny to believe that such a thing could protect you from bad things..and i think it is just a tradition in some islamic countries..it is said that prophet muhammed wore it at uhud war but it is only a rumour.

1. We respect each other, the same goes for respecting people who don't agree with you
2. Exactly!
3. No, you can respect a person without agreeing with her/his beliefs.
4. Depends what you mean by "respect". If you mean not saying anything critical or harsh about it, then yes - it can be disrespected.
5. Exactly!
6. If by "respect" you mean give you space to do what you want to practice your beliefs (as long as it doesn't harm anyone) then of course! Everybody should have the right to believe what they want to believe without being discriminated against.

i fully agree with catwoman
and fully disagree with teas
SUI i know we could come to some conclusions

if a certain group believes in a buble gum, should i just sit silent and pretend thats absolutely normal?
why am i not entitled criticise others? ah, wrong question! i will criticise anything and anyone without any permission.

Yes, they can believe in bubble gum if they want, and you can criticize that belief if you want! That's exactly the point.

Sure you can criticize anything you want. I don't think I said you couldn't. However, I believe there is a way to use tact and be constructive without being hurtful...
