Everybody believes their beliefs are better than others. I too think my beliefs are better than yours, its human bias, subjectivity whatever the fuck you want to call it. But you can still respect other peoples beliefs even if you don't think they're as good as yours. You wouldnt believe whatever it is you believe if you didnt think it was better than other beliefs, would you?
Really is this all that difficult to grasp? I never thought you were that intelligent to be honest, but this is basic logic.
No, it's because the other way around it would be stupid. If I thought your beliefs where better than mine and still had mine, I'd be an utter moron.
And that's not what respect is about. The word is so corrupted these days.
Respect:
1. A feeling of appreciative, often deferential regard; esteem.
2. The state of being regarded with honor or esteem.
3. Willingness to show consideration or appreciation.
I have none of those things towards your beliefs.
