People also think some of their beliefs deserve respect when they don't.

Well, anything that made us that wasn't powerful enough to make us comprehend them doesn't deserve my worship, in my opinion. Same with anything that could have made us smart enough to understand them, but chose not to, and made the consequences rather severe for not blindly believing in them on faith instead of evidence.

Yes, but trying to respect and listen to other opinions is important, because in doing so one can try to understand their motives and that can teach you a valuable lesson for future reference. Well, having faith in something even though you cannot comprehend it is important as well in my opinion, because that leads to critical thinking and dialogue, which in turn broadens the mind and may lead to an positive outcome for all involved. Blindly believing in something is never good, I agree with you there and bringing violence into it all is certainly not tolerable.

Id agree with that.

How would you say having faith in something you cant comprehend leads to critical thinking? Having faith in something ends critical thinking in my opinion. Maybe I don't really understand what you mean by "having faith in something even though you cannot comprehend". I take that as essentially blindly believing, which you go on to say isnt good.
