Credo Of Empowerment

All my life I have made it a rule never to permit a religious man or woman take for granted that his or her religious beliefs deserved more consideration than non-religious beliefs or anti-religious ones.

I never agree with that foolish statement that I ought to respect the views of others when I believe them to be wrong.
