I have no reason to respect comments from any theist. Their comments are typically overly ignorant of facts and t***h, and usually imply something stupid or wrong about atheists. My primary reason for being disrespectful to a theist is that they expend so much time and effort attempting to force their beliefs on me and other atheists. In my opinion, theists are almost constantly using their strength in numbers to force politicians to pass laws respecting their religious beliefs, and that is a definite violation of the Constitution of the United States. Typical example is their current attack on women’s rights regarding a******n. The majority of Americans believe a******n should be legal in most cases. Theists have been attacking the rights of American women to have an a******n, and are even now trying to stop the use of the “morning after” pill to stop conception. They succeeded in getting the SCOTUS to cancel Roe V. Wade, which ensured the right to a******n for American women. This was also a political issue, and would not have happened if the court had not been stacked by extremists including Trump. A woman’s right to an a******n is a human right to control her own body, and no law should prevent that right from being used. But theists fought long and hard to cancel that right. And so far as I am concerned, that is a direct violation of the clause in our constitution that says “… congress shall pass no law respecting a religion…..” No theist forcing their beliefs or will on non-theists deserved any respect what so ever.
I will respect theists when they respect my right to fight their efforts to subjugate us to their will and beliefs. When they make stupid comments, I will point them out. Frankly, those people who honestly believe the religious items they are fed by brainwashing from youth are ignorant and typically not given a decent education. Frankly, my opinion is that religious schools should be illegal. That would stop the dissemination of brainwashing to some degree and improve the average education level of all our students. Meanwhile, when a theists spouts more stupid drivel, I will reply with no semblance of respect. Stupidity tinged with avarice and a desire to force their belief on the rest of us does not deserve respect.
Yesterday’s news again showed why religions and the extreme right wing of politics need to be eliminated, politicians by v****g them out and religion by walking out and never going back. Headlines as follows: “Half of Michigan GOP v**e to retain a ban on cohabitation by unmarried couples”. “T*********r lawmaker silenced by Montana House Speaker”. “Unrepentant Bigot is GOP front runner in North Caroline Governor’s race.” All of this is the result of religious influence over the more extreme GOP politicians. The church uses the GOP to get laws passed supporting their beliefs, giving them control over people and forcing compliance with their beliefs. On the other side, the GOP sucks up to the church as a means of getting more v**es to get reelected. This is a very unholy alliance that is in obvious violation of the constitution of the United States. Remember to v**e against r****ts, bigots, anti-gays, and anti-t*********r people. All of which is a religion based discrimination against anyone not complying with their beliefs. Such discrimination should be illegal. Actually, I thought it was. But few religious persons respect the rights of non-religious persons.
This world will be a far better place when the last religion has died of its own absurdity and people actually have freedom from the oppression of religions. Religions are just a s**m, and exist solely for the purpose of controlling others and taking thier money.

I have no reason to respect any comments from a stupid atheist who believes in murdering babies taking away their rights and demanding that the ones who bear them murder them in the womb. This is not a "Mexican standoff" because you have lost this fight before you even start it.
