We disrespect our neighbor because we are insecure, our Rav because we don’t want to listen to him, our son’s Rebbi because we want to believe our son is eternally blameless, our mother in law for whatever, our spouse, our co-workers…
You are projecting here. How could you know the precise reasons of why one disrepects the other? Some people may have insecurity problems, but a lot of people do have valid reasons to disrepect their son’s Rebbi, their mother in law, their spouse, or their co-workers.
And if one disrespects their Rov they should find a Rov that they respect.
Is it really probable that when we disrespect a rasha it is because we are standing up for Hashem’s honor?
I can’t speak for others, but in my case, yes.
Do you think Hashem is happy when we use his honor as an excuse for our faults?
No, but why don’t you be dan l’kaf zchus and assume they are doing it for Hashem’s honor and not to prop up their self-esteem?
I agree that when it comes to minhugim then one does not have a right to put down the other. We do need to respect our differences and accept it as well. But as frum Jews, there is a line that we cannot cross by not disrespecting others sinful actions under the banner of being dan l’kaf zchus.
Let me ask you, would you not disrepect those who engage in same gender behaviour? I mean they are genetically predisposed to such behaviour. Can we blame them for enganging in immorality?
Well, being mechallel Shabbos, and other clear halachic violations of those who were frum and trample on our sacred Torah laws are an abomination to God who curses us if we don’t follow His ways.
My opinion is that this feel good respecting of others who violate halacha leads to (if not for ourselves then for our children c”v)an apathetic view of adherence to halacha which our ancestors have clung to even under the pain of death.
