Re: Hi Everyone
No, and I'll attempt to explain the reasoning to you.
Beliefs are founded on faith, not proof. If I feel that your beliefs are founded on superstitions, ignorance and hatred, I'll not insult what little intelligence may reside between your ears by pretending that they are worthy of consideration, let alone respect.
But those are your beliefs, not you. What I have to respect is your right to hold those beliefs. The problem arises when people fail to appreciate that distinction. This usually happens when people identify so strongly with their chosen beliefs that they are unable to separate themselves from their belief system, often when they are trying to explain to me just how "open-minded" they are.
After that blatantly false assertion, my respect for your beliefs just fell even further.
Speaking of which, when did God visit you to tell you which parts of the Bible are safe to ignore, when the Bible itself says that:
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
Further Scripture (available upon request) shows that it was obviously Satan who has misled you into danger of eternal hellfire and torment, because that's what a just and loving God would arrange.

...After all, Creationists and Evolutionist both believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
