It's my opinion that paedophilia is wonderful. It's also my opinion that black people are inferior to white people, women are inferior to men, children should be beaten regularly and animals should be abused. Do you respect my opinions and believe that there is some truth in them? I don't expect you to answer as you always run away from awkward posts but at least it shows what you are.

I see the opposite of that happening these days. Atheists assume believers are ignorant and superstitious, Democrats assume Republicans are ignorant and selfish. Etc.

Maybe one of the very best ways to love your neighbor isn't to give them food and money. Maybe it's to give them respect and search for common ground.
More straw. We have looked at our neighbors opinions objectively, that is why we disagree. I can respect my neighbor to have those opinions, I do not need to respect the idea of a dead fish being resurrected.

We see your love for your neighbor includes an attack on atheists and democrats in the middle.

God's favorite way of loving one's neighbor is genocide.

How to love your neighbor. Except the 10 - 20% who are atheists. Because they keep proving good4nothin wrong.

You "prove" me wrong by saying I am wrong. That is the extent of your logic.

And by the way, I have read more by atheists than by theists, and I made sure I understood their perspective.

Your personal nastiness makes it hard for me to love you, neighbor. It's just an idea, not saying I love all my nasty neighbors, especially online.

With people I actually know, I try much harder.

No, I show how your 'evidence' does not support your assertions. All you do is misrepresent.

You called us pitiful, and have used other ad hominems. You have called me a liar. Do not play the victim here just because we retaliate by using facts you claim we do not have.

You have argued with insults, never logic or science.

I am not allergic to science. I posted about science AND religion. It was closed in this forum because it's partly about science. It would be closed in the science forum because it's partly about religion.

Some people here seem not to understand that the RELATIONSHIPS between science and religion are important topics.
