There is nothing wrong in having beliefs. You can choose in life which beliefs to hold and which to cast aside......that is your prerogative
.
There is nothing wrong in respecting the belief of another....even though you may not subscribe to that belief yourself.
A belief is like a warm coat against the elements....mobertol said it was a 'comfort thing'....if that is the case, then why ridicule someone who holds a different belief to yourself?...isn't that akin to taking the coat away from them?
Respecting the belief of another, though you do not believe yourself, is civilised and mature.
Anything else is churlish.
