Personally, I try and treat people with the respect that they deserve, which of course changes with their actions.
Someone for instance who is able to enter into a theological discussion without mentioning:
the usual suspects
waaaah the athiests are bashing me
religion is the cause of all wars
the bible's totally made up
will get plenty of respect from me (ie Towney) where as I'm sure someone who tells you that it's tough luck that your family should die at the command of their god wouldn't get much respect from you.

Sorry but as an atheist I can see you've twisted that one..
I am sick of the intolerance shown by my fellow atheists on this forum towards those who have faith.Whatever has happened to the fair,understanding and sympathetic British character in regards to the right to worship as one chooses without being attacked at every turn.I thought we had moved on from religious persecution?I thought this was the 21st Century and that freedom of belief is a human right.
As for the total rubbish about atheists being picked on..I've never been picked on for my lack of belief and I've never seen or heard of ANYONE being thus abused.Can anyone actually provide any such evidence?
I can see I won't be able to stay around this thread for long or I will be getting an infraction or two...
