    I am still very much annoyed when I found out this week that Catholics can eat eggs for lent but not chicken since potential life isn’t actual life if it is tasty.

    Zero mutual respect zero. If they don’t want an abortion they are welcome to not have one, but that live and let live wasn’t enough for them.

      uh, eggs you eat aren’t gonna hatch. I don’t see potential for life there. and it doesn’t have to do with life anyway. even complex animal life. Fish are on the menu.

        No! Leave the egg alone for long enough and it will be full of life! Trust me, anyone who tries this will know immediately that life found a way!

    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.
