I strongly agree. I have a friend that thinks all beliefs have equal validity, which is the same as saying all beliefs deserve respect. This is wrong and part of what has caused our society to be in crisis as it is now. Because media has for years treated all sides of a subject as having equal validity, we now have climate deniers in charge of the US government. Because of bothsiderism we now have children dying of easily preventable diseases.
Should the beliefs of pedophiles and white supremacists be respected? Faith believes that homosexuality and atheism are crimes against her god. Does she just believe people she thinks are immoral should go to jail or does their blasphemy deserve the death penalty. Her beliefs deserve no respect. They should be ridiculed and attacked any time she or anyone like her espouses them. Logical conclusion of her beliefs are the torture and death of me, my family and my friends. Fuck her beliefs. I will step on them, fight them and ridicule them any time I can. This is not just a battle for our rights. The battle against religious extremism is a battle for our lives.

And I think the only way to stop the actions is to combat the beliefs. Good for you, but seems to be willful ignorance to me.
The Politics of Impartiality: How Media Frames the Climate Change Debate - Brown Political Review Because the American people were not presented with the data in an objective manner. The evidence was manipulated by media presentation. You are building a strawman. Please debate what I actual wrote not what you want to attack.
I said nothing about discussing the idea. I asked if the beliefs of pedophiles and white supremacists were deserving of respect. Do you think they are? Disagree. I do not think a person that feels I am not entitled to the same rights and freedoms as they are is deserving of my respect. I have a brother that thinks I should not have the right to vote because I am not a christian. I have no respect for him. I am a firm believer that respect is earned and not freely given and I am a firm believer that words have meaning and power. Words are actions. What is wrong with you? Do not attack me. If you disagree, disagree without making it personal. You need to step down from your high moral horse. People can espouse whatever they want. Words are actions. When they espouse hate they need to be called out and ridiculed. I in no way stated people should not be able to espouse there beliefs. Just that there are consequences. My training is in History, So yes. Are you voicing the meaningless pithy line of those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it? The line actually means nothing. Again with the strawman. People are entitled to say whatever they want. That you make the claim that I think otherwise just shows a lack of understanding or a conscious effort to misrepresent what I actual argued.
Speech is action. Faith should feel free to say what she wants but she and her beliefs are not deserving of respect. Strawman again? I thought you were better than that.

It seems to me that throughout this rigmarole you have a vastly different definition of respect than what I would call normal usage. Seems completely outside of normal usage.
I do not want to imprison, hurt or mark Faith. I think her beliefs and a lot of the things she says are vile. The deserve to be quickly and repeatedly condemned.
