My brain is way too analytical.

You're wrong. I have tons of respect for her. How could I not? She totally believes in something that (to me) is not physically real and no one can fully prove. But, it works out for her. That's her deal, not mine.

First of all, I don't know the situation, and it really does not affect me, and I am not taking sides. Either way, I have no clue if you respect one other.
I think we are probably talking about respect differently. I respect someones right to do a lot of things, such as vote for the communist party, (yes, in Canada, we have several parties that can run). I do not respect the ideas of the communist party however, and I am not afraid to say that. Too often I think we, as a society, tell ourselves that we respect things and people that we actually don't respect because we have a tough time being honest with ourselves since not respecting ideas is seen as ignorant or racist. I think that is where the difference comes in about respecting a persons right to believe something as opposed to the actual beliefs. It can also be that we respect the life someone lives and don't respect the ideas they believe because we see them as childish and poorly founded.
Again, I am not attacking you. As you said, "You're wrong", I probably am. Just something interesting that I have thought about.
