My point, Jose, was why can’t we simply respect other people without having to worry about who deserves respect more.
As to your last question — it’s very simple. Many people in the Jewish community would maintain that I am an apikorus for some of the views I hold. So, if I’m a heretic, then it follows that most (if not all) of my opinions are probably heretical as well. It’s what’s expected of a stupid no-good low-life like me.
