What if someone truly believed all women in Clayton should be covered head to toe, and fully veiled, and it was their divine right that their beliefs should be imposed on everyone?

Should their beliefs be respected?

If you do think so, don't worry.

I won't respect 'em.

I'll fight, so we can all see your bonny face again.

;):D

Not true Margaret- think of the Crusades. Some joined in for power and land but driving it was a desire to retake the Holy Land- worthless except for Jerusalem.

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

No, I don't believe that...and no, their beliefs do not repsect my belief. They are intolerant.
I'm surprised you had to ask........you get what you give out. If you don't give respect then you can expect none in return.
Respect of beliefs has to be a two way street...which is the point I have been labouring to get across.
It is obvious I have not made myself very clear......either that, or you have been jousting with me G.:):D:)
I know you like a good joust.

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

As I said, religions have given us truly inspirational tenets, lessons, thought, and parables.

I'm happy I'm an atheist.

I'm also happy I was raised in the Methodist church.

As I am that I've also spent some wonderful times in Buddhist retreats.

I'm happy I have good friends of many different faiths, and of none.

As Gordon hinted at, with my friends, religion is a subject we don't spend too much time discussing.

Waste of time.

Time which could be much better spent, on more fun things.

:D

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

So the crusades were not in the name of religion then....again, I am asking because I thought they were, but to be honest, that kind of history didn't float my boat when I was at school. I was probably gazing out of the window when I should have been listening.

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

But very few...if any, belief/faith systems can be truly tolerant, because fundamentally they believe they are right, and every other group, who have a different set of beliefs, are wrong.

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

I know a few in Clayton that should be cover head to toe and shoved in a cupbroad.....:D

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

So you met em as well Doug?:D:D

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

I do hope that I am not one of those Doug.

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

I love you Mrs. Pilkington. You know I do. :)

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

So you agree with me then........they are intolerant.
I am preaching tolerance:D but you can tell me I am wrong and I will tolerate your belief.:)

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

Oh....I thought you had gone off me there for a minute.:D

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

That will never happen.....:)

Re: Corrie's Bill Roach believes in Reincarnation!
 

Thank goodness for that!

At the Name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now!
