Likewise. I would find it nigh on impossible to accept (and/or respect) everyone's political opinions myself.

I guess when M_A said "accept", I took it to mean, "Accept that people are going to believe what they want", not "accept it as a reasonable belief"

but I don't like it when an atheist said something to me the other week "Children will believe what they are told from a young age". It may be true in many cases but there are also many cases where children get older and follow their own beliefs. In the context of our conversation I also felt it to be disrespectful towards my mum. She brought me up as a single parent after my dad died a few months before I was born. His comments really upset me. I don't care if Richard Dawkins is his hero, he's not mine!
I respect Dawkins intelligence and atheist views, but compared to my mum he's nothing, so if I have a hero it's my mum. I've watched a few of Dawkins documentaries on TV. I've never read The God Delusion (do I have to), but then I also know of an American cell biologist called Kenneth Miller who says that evolution is true and is compatible with a believe in God (he's a Catholic but I'm not). I think that some atheists, but not all, can be almost as bad as some religious groups. |

Should you accept it because chances are that person won't change their beliefs overnight? Might as well. In the meantime, avoid them as much as possible if they anger you so much. |

I said that you should not ram your opinions down the throats of others. I've known a few atheists but most don't try to force their views on to folks. The same can be said for many religious people

Exactly, it's about the person, not their beliefs.

Terrific evidence based arguments for secular religious pluralism.

And you blanked out all but the Christians that got killed, or why is it a topic here instead of in the other thread?
