Religious Disrespect at an All Time High...

I don't come into your home, after being invited, and then unload a paper bag full of dog shit on your carpets because I have respect for you.  



RESPECT

2 : an act of giving particular attention : CONSIDERATION

I've never understood how so many people just blindly accept disrespect as "Freedom of Speech."  As an American I'm very much interested in and uphold the ideas of freedom of speech, but I don't ignore the fact that the limits of the concept are infringement on another's ability to pursue life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.  How much happiness can one find in a society that persecutes them for religious beliefs that have lead them, personally, to pursue nothing but benevolence and peace?  Everyone knows that it is disrespectful to draw inflammatory images of Muhammad and yet people do it anyway which only feeds the Muslim propaganda machine that says that "White" world is waging a war against Islam and dispenses with the notion that various countries are fighting terrorism targeted at them.  


I think it was John Berger that said that people for the most part don't believe in religion as a faith anymore(any kind of religion).  People only fear or revere pain which would make "Pain" regardless of which side you stand on a defacto faith/religion for most people.  It's a sad commentary on society, if the religion of pain is the only true faith system but I'm starting to believe that it's true.
