It's easy to part quote a sentence or paragraph and take it out of context.
It is. However, no one did that.
As this O.P is " On the respect of the beliefs of others..." Rather than go off topic, I will take some Dr Phill advice and not engage in any further perdantic details.
I've no idea what you're talking about.
Viviane " I've no idea what your talking about."
The Rebel ( A) what's new, you have had that problem with me, since our first communication.
Have a nice evening Viviane.
The Rebel.
Viviane: It is. However, no one did that.
Actually, The Rebel quoted me as writing, "It's a common marketing maxim that 'perception is reality'" and completely missed the point, which was the exact opposite of the direction s/he ran with it.
I think that's the first time I've ever disagreed with you, Viv!

Fair enough. Allow me, kindly, to be more accurate. *I* didn't do that.
I've only read to page 7 as I add this comment but have a feeling by page 34 probably still isn't resolved....
Viviane says,
If I am insulting someone, well, then we should address that specifically, but so far you've not shown a single example of that.
Eden shows several examples of that by saying, "since you insist"
Her reply....
I insisted on nothing....Since we've already seen you fallaciously suggest someone insisted on something, explain in detail why anyone should trust another word you say?...Why, in other words, should not every word you speak be treated as suspect since you've already lied and said I insisted on something?
The synonyms for 'insist' include: be resolute about, be emphatic about, be adamant about, not take no for an answer about; informalstick to one's guns about.
Viviane was clearly 'insisting' on examples of her insulting someone. Previously Eden said he would not look up old threads but her resolute stance, adamant reply on showing examples, then after Eden does it saying he's lying about it and her bullying him afterwards if he won't take it back.
Finally got to the end of this thread, and I was right, my last post wasn't resolved.
This comment though is about the intended topic of the thread and questions asked by people like cofty, etc, on respecting beliefs of others, what should be respected and to define how they should be respected. Here are my thoughts on that.
First, whether anybody likes it or not, on this forum those who believe in a higher power or afterlife and those who do not.
On respecting beliefs, one start would be to not hijack a thread from a group. If a believer starts a thread to discuss among believers, they are not inviting a debate or hijack to challenge their belief in a higher power or afterlife. So let them have their discussion. If the thread is about proof, debate, and trying to convert, etc, then that would invite debate. So bottom line, unless a thread is intended for debate, don't hijack it. Another example, if a believer in afterlife has a relative die and makes a thread about it and other believers are giving them comfort, no reason for somebody to try to prove there is no afterlife and it's dumb to believe that, etc. VS a thread that asks is there an afterlife or not, which would invite debate.

Eden was being untruthful, so, no.
Viviane was clearly 'insisting' on examples of her insulting someone
And now you're being untruthful also.
If you don't want to be called untruthful, then don't be so.
The synonyms for 'insist' include: be resolute about, be emphatic about, be adamant about, not take no for an answer about; informalstick to one's guns about.
Exactly, both you and Eden were and are untruthful on this. So what?
Viviane. Respectfully, you are sometimes very tiresome. I'd appreciate if you tried not to be quite to acerbic.
