Is Faith a Cognitive Error?

37. That's not really what you said

You said “I do not challenge those that choose to believe there is no God, that is their personal choice and should be respected.“

While it’s true that some atheists choose to believe there is no god, most do not take that position. Now some people just don’t know the definition of atheism, and some deliberately define it in just the way you did with the specific intent of being disrespectful. I take no offense either way but it’s worth mentioning.

I wouldn’t expect you to subscribe to any of the beliefs I mentioned and as a DUer I would assume you don’t. The point was that just because someone believes something, or doesn’t in no way obligates anyone to respect that belief. Tolerance demands I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I won’t even go as far as to say you are wrong for whatever it is you believe. But tolerance doesn’t mean I have to respect the belief, and whether it applies to you or not belief does go into some places that deserve no respect whatsoever.
