Re: 2 Wrongs make a right here I think
Its offensive to me that I must treat people who claim to believe in a sky fairy with respect and not ridicule.
Then you should take a long, hard (fnarr fnarr) look at yourself.
Treating people with respect should be your default position.
You don't have to agree with their views in order to do that. You're even welcome to ridicule those views, though don't be surprised if this doesn't make them happy, or causes them to dislike you.
Hence that quote that you should never discuss religion or politics in polite company.
Maintaining respect for people you disagree with is simply basic politeness. And is something you'd do well to learn. It might increase people's respect for you.
