Do religious beliefs automatically deserve respect?

Why do you care how an animal is killed?

Isn't it infringement of its rights to force it to die without no choice?


Atheists who say beastly is wrong because apparently "animals cannot consent = rape" are hypocritical when they state that "we can kill animals but ease it from pain in that process. ARE YOU MAD? Where is its consent and so called "rights" to choose to live or be processed into meat?

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and should always have freedom to follow those beliefs. But that does not mean that those beliefs deserve respect (and certainly not automatically).

I see no reason to automatically respect someone for a personal belief that they have, that's not something that gains respect.

I can report you for calling me troll without no sufficient evidence.

Secondly, what has the teaching of islam got to do with integrating into western society?

A person's right to have these beliefs should be respected. They themselves should also respect that other people may find their beliefs utterly ludicrous, respect HAS to work 2 ways. It isn't particularly fair for a religious person to find atheism or agnosticism ignorant or disrespectful, and then for them to angrily respond to an atheist criticism of faith with "How dare you belittle my religion!" It HAS to, HAS TO work both ways.

They invented numbers but not stuff like algebra, which is basically what maths is.

Woahh I don't understand how 'burning yourself' isn't peaceful. You do realise that it's once they're dead...

The right to hold a belief should be respected but the belief itself doesn't necessarily have to be respected.

We can also respect the person before they tell us their beliefs on certain things and from there I think the beliefs tend to be assess by our own world view and we decide if we respect it or not. However, not respecting a view doesn't mean you should go around disrespecting the person and being rude.

They invented nothing just stole the Idea from Hindus...

Without us you wouldn't have internet or maths so please stop stealing our inventions....

Arabic ṣafira = "it was empty", ṣifr = "zero", "nothing". This was a translation of the Sanskrit word shoonya (śūnya), meaning "empty". Arabs learnt the use of zero from Indians. The concept of zero as a number and not merely a symbol for separation is attributed to India.

The concept of zero (0) came from Hindus.The symbol zero as number in Number Line was introduced in Vedic Mathematics-- Sulbha Sutram.

Many people in You tube have shown that Zero (0) is written the way it is written today from an stone engraving in Gwalior Fort.----In many Stone engravings in South Indian Temples also This can be seen.j

The "Digital System" of counting using the 10 digits was there from Vedhic period.

The modern counting system is the "Gift" of Hindus has been said by Dr.Albert Einstein.

In Purusha Suktham one canj see the reference:- "Adhya Dishta Daca Angulam"----Daca means 10---Angulam means "digits "

In European Greek System OCTAD counting system was adopted.

Arabs borrowed the Hindu Numerals,when Emperor Asoka,s kingdom was spread till the present day Iran.

USE wikipedia and make some research before taking our merits...

I won't be replying to you anymore,you are a joker...

I don't really understand what 'respecting a belief' means. In its usual context, it's a thinly veiled whine.

No, but they deserve tolerance. There's no reason I should respect someone else's beliefs if I don't think they're worthy of my respect, but I should tolerate those beliefs and not attack them for it. The exception to this is if their beliefs actually harm others, in which case tolerance acceptable for obvious reasons.


Took the words out of my mouth!
