About respect [View all] Starboard Tack May 2015 OP

Yes, fundamentalists of all stripes BainsBane May 2015 #1

First post on a thread about respect is a pot shot at nonbelievers. LostOne4Ever May 2015 #3

No, just the ones who refuse to accept BainsBane May 2015 #4

My assumption was that you tried to come up with a word LostOne4Ever May 2015 #5

I think the word is apt BainsBane May 2015 #7

Misogynists calling women H******cal or the B word think it is apt. LostOne4Ever May 2015 #8

Again, you resort to projection BainsBane May 2015 #58

Again you misrepresent what I say LostOne4Ever May 2015 #60

Great posts BB Starboard Tack May 2015 #115

If by kick butt you mean repeatedly misrepresent LostOne4Ever May 2015 #119

She pummeled you. Deal with it. Starboard Tack May 2015 #164

In your dreams LostOne4Ever May 2015 #165

Oh, there's plenty of personality in your posts, okasha May 2015 #176

I thought I made a good case LostOne4Ever May 2015 #177

"I was raised to treat religion as a private matter." Too bad most religionists don't follow that... PoutrageFatigue May 2015 #171

I think it's about CONTROL. raccoon May 2015 #175

Oh, do grow up. mr blur May 2015 #54

Every human being is worthy of respect BainsBane May 2015 #57

Nice moving the goal posts there Lordquinton May 2015 #59

Um, no. Definitely not. PoutrageFatigue May 2015 #172

Actually, the OP itself was a full broadside at nonbelievers. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #84

Oh I beleive you LostOne4Ever May 2015 #130

Well said! hrmjustin May 2015 #24

Et tu Brute? (Nt) LostOne4Ever May 2015 #62

Sorry but it is not the the theists here who mock my faith. hrmjustin May 2015 #63

No but your side is hardly innocent. beam me up scottie May 2015 #69

True but you don't see me mocking atheism. hrmjustin May 2015 #71

I've seen you post plenty of nasty things about atheists. beam me up scottie May 2015 #72

But not atheism. hrmjustin May 2015 #73

How is that better? beam me up scottie May 2015 #77

I do not mock them for not believing. hrmjustin May 2015 #78

"I mock members here because they mock me." beam me up scottie May 2015 #79

Oh I am not a victim. hrmjustin May 2015 #80

I know you're not. beam me up scottie May 2015 #85

Well he can speak to his own op and believers here have their moments, but... hrmjustin May 2015 #87

Everyone on DU mocks beliefs. beam me up scottie May 2015 #90

I think most of the posters who post here regularly are non-believers. hrmjustin May 2015 #91

Do you disagree that everyone mocks beliefs? beam me up scottie May 2015 #93

Yes we all do. hrmjustin May 2015 #95

I don't click on threads bashing animal rights activists for a reason. beam me up scottie May 2015 #99

Ok. hrmjustin May 2015 #102

Lol! rug May 2015 #128

As I asked BB LostOne4Ever May 2015 #124

Why is it ok to call atheists fundantalists and the other names? hrmjustin May 2015 #136

Have I called theists names? (nt) LostOne4Ever May 2015 #137

I am not talking about you but in general. hrmjustin May 2015 #139

I don't think so. That is why I don't use terms you don't like to refer to you or others LostOne4Ever May 2015 #142

Your a great poster and civil. hrmjustin May 2015 #144

At times, but at other times I do I bear my teeth LostOne4Ever May 2015 #148

Lmfao! hrmjustin May 2015 #149

Non-belief has nothing fundamental to adhere to. phil89 May 2015 #203

"Why do they hate those who are tolerant and accepting of all" beam me up scottie May 2015 #2

"...you have the right to believe whatever strikes your fancy." bvf May 2015 #6

Your right to believe anything is OK Starboard Tack May 2015 #13

Oh, I understand the difference. bvf May 2015 #18

What do you propose to do about someone who believes that? rug May 2015 #19

The question wasn't directed to you. bvf May 2015 #22

No one here is anti-lgbt and we fight against it in our places of worship and communities. hrmjustin May 2015 #23

Yes or no? bvf May 2015 #25

As a gay man I do not support or respect anti gay beliefs. hrmjustin May 2015 #26

No. bvf May 2015 #28

i gave you my answer and it was rather clear. hrmjustin May 2015 #29

Amazing. bvf May 2015 #31

Yes or no what? hrmjustin May 2015 #37

Cripes. bvf May 2015 #40

No it is not ok with me. hrmjustin May 2015 #42

"With me." bvf May 2015 #48

No. They have the right to their opinions but their opinions are not ok with me. hrmjustin May 2015 #49

Do they have the right to act based on those opinions? bvf May 2015 #51

No. Our laws say murder is wrong. hrmjustin May 2015 #52

No they don't. bvf May 2015 #56

Forgive me they say it is illegal. hrmjustin May 2015 #64

Explain capital punishment. bvf May 2015 #74

ok I am done with your game. hrmjustin May 2015 #75

Because you can't win. bvf May 2015 #81

are you saying I don't get that there is real homophobia in the real world? hrmjustin May 2015 #82

I thought you said you were done. bvf May 2015 #86

Answer my question please. hrmjustin May 2015 #88

So your statement was incorrect. bvf May 2015 #92

Answer my question please. hrmjustin May 2015 #94

No. There's your answer. bvf May 2015 #97

I think I have. hrmjustin May 2015 #98

Yes or no. bvf May 2015 #103

How about no or yes? hrmjustin May 2015 #104

Very clever. Time for a nap. bvf May 2015 #111

Enjoy your nap. hrmjustin May 2015 #112

Public board. Now you can answer my question. rug May 2015 #30

No you didn't bvf May 2015 #33

I did. That hate is protected speech. So it's "ok". Are you "ok" with the First Amendment? rug May 2015 #34

Yes or no? bvf May 2015 #36

I'm sorry you simultaneously can not read what's in your face rug May 2015 #96

I cannot parse this. bvf May 2015 #100

Unsurprising. rug May 2015 #101

Still looking for a simple yes or no. bvf May 2015 #105

Three times. rug May 2015 #106

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #107

No, you're still evading. rug May 2015 #108

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #109

Stil evading. rug May 2015 #116

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #117

I suppose that's much more productive than reading the answer posted hours ago. rug May 2015 #118

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #120

And there's another! rug May 2015 #121

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #122

Well, Estragon, shall we go? rug May 2015 #123

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #125

Yes, let's go. rug May 2015 #126

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #127

They do not move. rug May 2015 #129

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #133

just let it go. hrmjustin May 2015 #135

No. Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #138

He answered your questions. hrmjustin May 2015 #140

No, he didn't. I have yet to get a simple yes or no. bvf May 2015 #145

Your not a prosecutor and he is not the accused. hrmjustin May 2015 #147

I'm asking a question bvf May 2015 #150

No what you are doing is acting like a prosecutor and we are not your accused. hrmjustin May 2015 #151

Does God exist? Yes or no. bvf May 2015 #152

Yes I believe God exists. hrmjustin May 2015 #153

"Life is more than a yes or no." bvf May 2015 #154

Are you going to keep going on about rug? hrmjustin May 2015 #155

Well, bvf May 2015 #159

Well if you wish to constantly repeat the same thing... hrmjustin May 2015 #160

He's badgering the witness. okasha May 2015 #156

lmfao! I wonder if he knew that. hrmjustin May 2015 #157

Tim Misny is an attorney. bvf May 2015 #166

Curtain. rug May 2015 #141

Still waiting. bvf May 2015 #143

"Dammit, y'don't go!" okasha May 2015 #158

Thanks for joining in. bvf May 2015 #161

I already answered your question, hours ago. okasha May 2015 #162

. hrmjustin May 2015 #163

What's your point? bvf May 2015 #167

My point is that you don't have one. okasha May 2015 #174

You don't wear it well, IMO. bvf May 2015 #178

You still haven't answered rug's question. okasha May 2015 #179

So what? bvf May 2015 #180

... okasha May 2015 #181

Something about a prosecutor bvf May 2015 #183

Is the belief OK.? No Starboard Tack May 2015 #39

Excuse me, but I don't see any insults here. bvf May 2015 #43

I gave you an answer. hrmjustin May 2015 #45

You have a right to believe any assholish thing you want to. okasha May 2015 #76

Are you fucking serious? bvf May 2015 #184

How so? hrmjustin May 2015 #185

I'm not asking you. bvf May 2015 #187

No I am asking you, hrmjustin May 2015 #188

You can read, right? bvf May 2015 #189

I was going to ask the same of you. hrmjustin May 2015 #190

Very. okasha May 2015 #191

WTF? bvf May 2015 #193

You're the one declaring that certain thoughts okasha May 2015 #195

I never said any such thing, and you know it. bvf May 2015 #196

Look at your post replying to mine okasha May 2015 #197

I gave up. hrmjustin May 2015 #198

It's a well-established MO by now. okasha May 2015 #199

It is pointless to bother because when you answer a question you are told you didn't and hrmjustin May 2015 #201

That's typically your approach. bvf May 2015 #212

No i gave up because you were telling me that I didn't answer a question when I did. hrmjustin May 2015 #213

Heh. bvf May 2015 #214

.heH hrmjustin May 2015 #215

Point me to any post of mine bvf May 2015 #209

Yes, there are...and some of them you know quite well, Tack skepticscott May 2015 #9

Then talk to those who call people vermin Mr Vole Strangler Starboard Tack May 2015 #14

Here's your expression of "respect" skepticscott May 2015 #27

Thanks for continuing to re-post that. Starboard Tack May 2015 #41

Disingenuous nonsense and insulting people's intelligence are also not signs of respect skepticscott May 2015 #46

On the contrary. I stand by my posts Starboard Tack May 2015 #113

You're so cute skepticscott May 2015 #114

I see the difference you are getting at. edhopper May 2015 #17

Depends on what those beliefs lead to. edhopper May 2015 #50

When I post in this room I expect my views to be challenged. hrmjustin May 2015 #16

But how can one respect a belief that ensures another feels terror brought on by someone AuntPatsy May 2015 #44

An observation in passing through: edgineered May 2015 #47

I have seen far more disrespect (at DU) directed from non-theists guillaumeb May 2015 #53

Again, ideologies must be challenged Yorktown May 2015 #182

My point, heretofore unaddressed, guillaumeb May 2015 #192

Some people have zero interest in fostering understanding and furthering conversation, cbayer May 2015 #194

You want to foster 'conversations' which are not grounded in fact. Yorktown May 2015 #205

Trouble is, your point has already been addressed. More times than I care to count. Act_of_Reparation May 2015 #200

If this were targeting shooting, guillaumeb May 2015 #207

As it turns out, I'm a pretty good shot. Act_of_Reparation May 2015 #208

An interesting attempt to frame and characterize my argument. guillaumeb May 2015 #210

Do I need to show you the straw man gif again? Act_of_Reparation May 2015 #211

To answer your point, it takes two to tango. Yorktown May 2015 #204

There really isn't a need for one, is there? beam me up scottie May 2015 #223

Homophobes who compare ssm to bestiality and call people "vermin" shouldn't criticize anyone beam me up scottie May 2015 #218

And then there are those who simply make shit up about other posters skepticscott May 2015 #220

I'm sure they pray about it. beam me up scottie May 2015 #222
