No. if you simply had said that you disagreed with me, that would have been fine. But this is what you actually said And this is what's wrong with the so-called conservative Christians. They don't simply disagree with other sects of Christians or nonChristians. Their contempt for other people's faiths is best described by (for lack of a better word) hate.
And how has my refusal to grant respect as a matter of course been disrespectful? What specific act of disrespect have I engaged in by insisting that you have no automatic right to my respect?
Don't we have short memories? The basis of a civil discussion is mutual respect for both sides' points of view, even when disagreeing. You insisted a narrow definition of Christianity that covers about 1/3 of total Christians according to my definition. Thus our disagreement whether a Christian can be a liberal was just a matter of difference in definition. I said I respect your definition and asked that you respect mine and so at the end we could both be right. Then you gave me this not granting me respect thing. That attitude, in a discussion like this, is disrespectful.
Wrong. My freedom of religion and my freedom of speech mean that I can express my opinion and show as much contempt for beliefs I do not accept as I want. You are not entitled to my respect in any way whatsoever.
