hey man, all I was saying is that you have the right to 'choose' what you believe in
as a Christian I chose to be based on my own reflection, not because I was forced into it... that's all i was saying
"Belief" is not a choice in Islam - as many things are not. It is true there are some lax interpretations of Islam that do not pursue the death penalty for apostasy, but this is hardly mainstream: regardless one still has to face the reality of losing ones family/friends, which is about as anti-humanist as anything else.
Respecting ones right to "believe" what they "choose" is one thing.
However, this says nothing for the need to "respect" the "belief" itself, especially if it is not true. This is the source of fascism: a "belief"-based 'state' which can not stand to scrutiny, therefor it forcibly suppresses criticism. This is precisely why Islamic sharia exists: one can not question/criticize the 'state'.
This Sharia is now global: much of the fascist suppression of criticism is protecting Islam / Left, while simultaneously demonizing the right as racists, bigots, fascists, white supremacists, Islamophobes etc.
The reality is these are all qualities/characteristics of the Left being projected on the right, and this fundamental pathology of projection / scapegoating is:
i. The Mark of Cain, and
ii. A component of Islam
whereby the general scapegoat is the Jew, and whoever the most formidable opposition to Islam is. Presently, it is "white people" hence Islam's need to demonize white people via the Left.
This entire global conflict can be traced back to Islam (and Judaism before/with it), much in the same way the U.S. political scandal can be traced back to Obama. It will all coalesce nicely over time once Obama gets exposed.

Again: "BELIEF" is not a virtue - knowing what *NOT* to "believe" is. That doesn't mean "belief" is bad, evil, wrong etc. it just means it is never a virtue, and one is never made virtuous by their "belief".
However, one *is* made virtuous through knowing what *NOT* to "believe" as they can not be bound to a "belief" that ultimately is not true.
