I remember about 9 years ago, give or take, when I said something pretty nasty about Mormonism. I got two very nice private messages explaining why I was wrong; I verified that yes, I was quite wrong, and my apology was cordially accepted.

I don’t even remember what it was, but I do remember being starkly reminded that I don’t have to agree with someone’s faith to respect them and to respect the value they place on their own beliefs. I try to remember that.

“...I don’t have to agree with someone’s faith to respect them and to respect the value they place on their own beliefs.”

Should be enshrined on the Religion Moderator’s page.

The only post in this whole thread worth reading.
