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

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.
