“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early hours of Friday.

    I respect people who have faith… but those religious idiots out there using religion as a weapon and the scum of society, and those from, the ones that think Trump is a kind of messiah, are so completely utterly brained fucked that should be legally declared incapacitated

        Faith is just a personal trait. I did not mean “respect” as in “revered”, I meant respected as in “not my business, not gonna judge”.

        To clarify further, I believe we all have faith in something. Scientists have faith/hope/expectations without direct evidence, that science will answer all questions given time. I have faith/hopes/expectations that my sport teams will prevail one day. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having faith (as in hopes without direct evidence) about anything. The problem is when that faith becomes the driving force of your life and you want to impose it on others.

        Respect as a person in spite of their faith.

        Oppose to not respecting someone as a person for not respecting (the authority of) their faith.

        My guess anyways…

          First, I didn’t say the people shouldn’t be respected. I said faith shouldn’t be. It’s the worst, least reliable way to draw conclusions about the world. A method that only ever produces falsehoods is not respectable. Why should I respect it?

            Oh, I know. But the original comment you responded to said “I respect people who have faith” which is why I brought it up. I also believe faith itself is dumb and have little respect for it.
