On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

Maybe chill with the "Google it." directives?
I'd never heard of 'home truths' either, and each word is simple enough that it could have been made up by the author with unclear intent.
It doesn't hurt to ask.

Actually, Eden, upon reflection, you might actually be describing respect for someone's feelings in your scenario.
Regardless of beliefs, a person might have feelings that it's very important to help others. They might feel others' distress strongly.
That I could respect and in that case, I could agree with you.

In your scenario, it wasn't the belief that served the greater good of society. It was their choice of actions.
Two different things. They may seem to be correlated, but one does not necessarily follow the other.

Do you think another person's temper is worthy of due regard. It's not on the definition and it certainly is not. -

"Due regard" needs to be matched to things that deserve due regard.
It is telling that 'beliefs' was not listed in the definition.

How can you say that? That is not part of the definition and it doesn't make sense that it should be.
"Feelings, wishes and rights" are completely unrelated to beliefs.
Unless you are speaking about the right of someone to have their own beliefs, which completely comports with the definition.

Eden, but your definition of respect is " due regard for the feelings, wishes or rights of others."
Your definition excludes beliefs. No where does it say 'due regard for the beliefs of others."

Eden, are you conflating beliefs with actions?
Should beliefs stand on their own merits and actions on their own merits?
Or, because the actions are predicated on the beliefs, should they be judged as part and parcel of each other?
Might the same beliefs produce other actions that might be judged unsavory?
Might the same actions be caused by differeing beliefs?

I find it interesting that StatTrekAngel has not checked in on his own thread recently.
I like to hear people's thoughts and reasonings on things and I like to watch them interact and accommodate new information.
I like to watch people "grow."
But, if you just start and abandon a thread, what have you added to the discussion? What have you learned? What have you concluded after all the input?
Are you here for the exchange of ideas? Or just to pontificate?
Hello?
