Should We Respect Religion?
Debate Information
I have consistently maintained that whilst I tolerate religion, I have no respect for it whatsoever. Many people have no respect for religion and many show hatred for religion (e.g. Christians hating Muslims, vice versa). Nevertheless, we respect the law and should all tolerate religion which has been legalised in most countries.
Its a bit like pornography really. Many people would have no respect for pictures or videos of people wearing shoes whilst fornicating. Still, some people get their kicks from it and it is legalised in many countries, albeit with restrictions.
So, why don't we have restrictions on religion?
Surely children should not be exposed to questionable practices and beliefs that can have profoundly adverse effects on them. As with pornography, there should be an R18 restriction on religion and any adult who wants to follow such a bizarre practice is free to purchase religious material and enter religious institutions.
Unfortunately, it still does not stop parents from leaving lascivious or religious material within reach of children or talk about it in front of them yet as a community we owe it to be more responsible towards our future generations and at least restrict children from being exposed to such quirky and unsavoury beliefs.
