We arent always supposed to agree, but we are all entitled to respected for our opinions

We are able to express out opinions, beliefs and thoughts freely. Just because someone disagrees with another, doesnt mean they hate them, or there is some phobia or ism involved....it means they disagree. There are certain things in life that are "black and white" and certain things that arent. If the truth offends you, thats your problem. if you disagree with someones opinion, at least be respectful enough to realize that nobody is required to think, act, believe, or live the way you do. We need to stop be offended by everything and anything and realize that the world isnt required to change because someone got their feelings hurt........have a wonderful day

CLARIFICATION....I was referring to general societal disagreements....I was in NO way stating that criminals(of any form), political extremist views, and the like deserve or have any right to be given respect. There is a difference between being trashed for a difference of an opinion and being inhumane, crminal and off base. Respect is definitely earned and not a free pass. Yes we are directed by God to love, but that also doesnt mean we are required to like them. hope that clears up any confusion

Respect SW style. These are both from the last week.


This one didn't like the fact that I didn't agree with their point.


This one couldn't handle the fact that I called them to stop attacking other members as a generalisation and account for their own actions. They had no idea what others had been doing behind the scenes.

You are entitled to your opinion but not to respect. Respect is earned.

I disagree. No one is entitled to be respected ...at all...Not for anything. You earn respect. You can expect decency...that is an easy thing...but when your opinions and beliefs are not decent ...don't expect decency in return.

And also many "beliefs" are rooted in fear of the unknown. ..., racism and bigotry....and those beliefs are then used as reasons to create laws where they are no longer opinions and beliefs but weapons that can be used against the very people they are afraid of and have opinions about. Opinions and beliefs are not irrelevant..they can be used for harm.

We are commanded to love everyone.

We are not God. Love heals!

"Love your enemies and pray for those who despitefully use you!" Jesus says.
