Respecting Beliefs

There’s a lot of talk these days about respecting beliefs.  Particularly in the posts I wrote about organized religion, many chastised me, suggesting it was disrespectful of me, because I was not respecting people’s beliefs.  They suggest that since beliefs are so personal and important to people, they should be off limits from discussion.
