Truer words were never spoken. Only a person with no brains could "respect 
all religious beliefs" -- either brainless or a HYPOCRITICAL ("There are 
some chilling parallels between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists") 
LIAR.

I'm all for respecting all human beings as the image-bearers of the living 
God. But don't insult anyone's intelligence by spewing nonsense about 
respecting all religious beliefs. It isn't even possible to respect all 
religious beliefs and as a simple matter of fact nobody does.

Here are just a few of a vast number of religious beliefs that are not 
worthy of respect, and I'm sure anyone can think of more with no difficulty:

* The religious beliefs of Jim Jones in the Guyana jungle
* The religious beliefs behind the custom of burning alive newly widowed 
women in India
* The religious beliefs behind the practice of human sacrifice in ancient 
Mesoamerican cultures

Instead of lying about respecting all religious beliefs, how about 
respecting honesty and truthfulness for a change?
