Respect is not just earned from one side of the coin, there are laws in our country that say they are not ALLOWED to do this, it has nothing to do with respect and tolerance, that isn't even something that is taught from the religious right.

No one is conflicting with the other, accept our present government infiltrated with these christians, who are more like a reich, then the right side of christianity.

First rember that these and other members of the Christian Taliban of America are true sociopaths, they have no tolerance for those who do not believe exactly as they do, they do not respect the views of others, they do not believe any one has the right to have any relgiious beliefs other than theirs (for them freedom of religion means only one thing, that they have the freedom to impose their religion on every one else) and while proclaiming themselves to be 'pro-life' they advocate, enable, and make heros out of those who assassinate or attempt to assassinate any one who dares to oppose their ideology. And the Constitution and laws of the United States of America do not mean anything to them, unless they can use them for their own agenda. And unfortunately local, state and federal law enforcement, judges and politicians are often of their ilk and aid and abet them, none of the acid throwers, clinic bombers or doctor assassins has, is and probably never will be investigated, charged, tried, or convicted as the home grown religiious terrorists they are. The anti-abortion acts, and anti-LGBT equal rights measures put forth in in State Congresses and the US Congress are not treated as unconstitutional, illegal violations of every Americans Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion by other politicians or the courts in spite of the fact that they are solely based on religious beliefs.
