    I respect people and their beliefs as long as they respect other people and theirs.

    I don’t have time for people who use force to make others believe in their god. I didn’t put up with Christianity being forced down my throat in primary school, and that stance won’t change, however; if people want to politely talk about it, I won’t shut them down.

      Respect is a reservoir. It fills slowly, and when the damn breaks, it empties all at once. Once that happens, it doesn’t fill up again until the damn is repaired.

      A man can believe whatever he wants, but when he spouts off some racist bullshit, suddenly all of the redirect for his beliefs fades away too. Everything he said before is tainted, and I’ve no reason to respect any of it.
