Demanding Respect
Deists complain that we atheists show them lack of respect. What sorts of things do they expect us to do to show respect?
- Not contradict them.
- Show deference to church officials.
- Not make fun of their beliefs.
I don’t show this degree of respect to anyone, not even the leaders of my country, not even famous scientists. To encourage people like me to rise to this level, you would expect then the deists would show this exaggerated respect in return. What do they do instead?
