I may not believe in a God(s) but I respect the Jewish people. Through out history, they have had it really bad. The Holocaust, general racism towards them, they where blamed for Jesus' death, and in the Middle Ages, people tried to blame them for the black plague! Yet they remain.

Haha.
I do agree with you on that part.
Except for the fact that my ex-girlfriend was Jewish, which now makes me hate and stereotype the entire Jewish community as being dirty cunts.
>_>; Kidding.

I respect Buddhism, also. The only 100% completely peaceful religion, where their only goal in life is to be free from personal qualms. They don't shove their religion in your throat, and they respect personal boundaries. They respect pretty much everything about everyone.

EDIT: Yeah. ******** Scientology.

I respect Hinduism the most because they have to remember all of those Gods. 3nodding They have about a bajillion of them. But I think some of them just know the 3 main Gods. Slackers. stare I forgot the names of them at the moment, though... sweatdrop

I probably respect Buddhism the most, and it would be my first choice if I had to convert to any religion at a moment's notice.

By the way, I'm a bit behind on what exactly Scientology is, but do I keep seeing people saying "******** Scientology"? Sorry if the question's stupid or anything sweatdrop

Ugh. My bad.
I meant to ask why I kept seeing people making fun of Scientology. sweatdrop

Various reasons. Activities that strike others as "cult-like," and apparent abuse and inconsideration for those who follow it. Not to mention that it acts more like a corporation then a religion.

If you seriously want to know about Scientology and it's wrongs, I can write you an 8 paragraph essay. I could go on for hours.

Has Buddhism ever initiated any kind of aggression towards... anyone, ever? I don't think so...

I respect Taoism the most. They reject all personified deities, and are basically Atheism for spiritual people, or agnosticism without the god.

I wish I was that disciplined. Mad respect.

Buddhism, hands down. And then my next would probably be Hinduism and Judaism (I like 'em kosher redface ).

Well said.

And Tragic Orgy, that photo is mindblowing.

I know most of people here might destroy me for that, because the religion I actually respect most is christianity. Most probably because of my childhood which was affected with it a lot, and because of the fact I know many christians that are really good people. However "christianity" doesn't mean "church", which is the one I, well, don't like at all. XP

There are good people in every religion, but there are many bad people as well. It's a matter of judging how many people are bad because they believe they are doing the right thing based on the guidelines of their religion.

I strongly respect Buddhism and Judaism, but my strongest respect is for Neo-Pagans, for reasons I'm too sick and tired (literally, I have a cold, and I'm really tired) to go into.
