Only the parishioners of the religion can feel disrespected.
Respectfully disagree. Human faith is based on feelings and knowledge. Obviously you are confusing faith with religion.

And I have to say that I love your posts brother, they've inspired me and made me reflect lots of times.
Also I think that even if we have different beliefs, something that connect us, and connects a lot of people here is that we have strong faiths, and that is something that deserves all my respect!
There should be unity between Christian believers. However, that is not as easy as it sounds. Many folks have differing views on what they believe, but that should not be. As Christians we must believe, follow, and uphold the truths of the Bible, but sadly that's not always the case.
The Bible never asks true believers to "accept each other beliefs or non beliefs instead of trying to prove which is right an which is wrong?" We're never commanded to "accept" any other religion, belief, or doctrine other than what is taught in the Holy Scriptures. It would cease to be the sole exclusive truth then if we all did that. (which many today are attempting to do)
So funny...you roll your eyes at people having the AUDACITY to question something written 2,000 plus years ago that is antiquated and completely out of touch with modern times. Sorry , the eye rolling should be toward yourself.
Could it be possible that we are able to respect and accept each other beliefs or non beliefs instead of trying to prove which is right an which is wrong?
what are your thoughts?
We all have the ability to accept and respect each others beliefs and nonbeliefs, but not everyone chooses to do so...If we cannot accept and respect their beliefs, we should try to accept and respect other people for who they are otherwise..

Yes, this is much more realistic (and possible) then trying to "respect" things that we think are patently wrong.
People are much more than a sum of their beliefs.
