But by ‘disrespect’ I do not mean ‘make fun of’. I mean disrespect. I find that most of this site is just a mockery and not really funny, but insulting.

When I say I don’t need to believe in God to have faith I mean that I can believe that the bad will turn good, the sick can heal, and that karma can kick you in the ass or pick you up, and God is not the one who makes this happen for me. However an awful lot of people don’t think good things can happen on their own and therefore look to God for guidance.

When I say i disagree with the entirety of Christianity, I simply mean what it stands for. I disagree with following one holy being, and one book, and ten commandments. I believe everyone SHOULD create their own morals and values, and be able to have faith in themselves, those around them and the physical world.

Also I never ever said that there are not people who are not worthy of respect. I definitely did not imply it nor mean it in anyway. I do not think everyone should be treated equal, but it is based on an individuals actions, rather than a group of peoples beliefs, lifestyle, or appearance.

Sorry for the lateness of my reply.

We mock them too because they surely do not represent the Jesus we follow. I appreciate your fair and balanced approach to respecting other faiths. Not respecting the followers of those faith is also justified. We at Christians Tired of Being Misrepresented have had enough of the high profile Christian hypocricy and endeavor to call them out as such. Blessings.
