Dan, as much as we disagree with them, we have to respect their opinions. It's ignorant not to.

No, it's ignorant to blindly respect someone's opinion just because they believe in it. I'm not a bigot at all, but people that do not believe in equal rights are morons. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of intelligence.

@Obliviator27: Who the hell cares? Arguing semantics changes nothing. Just because someone is not wrong for having a clashing viewpoint doesn't mean that they can never be wrong. Compare:

Oranges are better than apples because they are orange.

and

I'm a supporter of the boundless universe theory. The idea of infinite space makes me uncomfortable.

The first statement is totally biased and ignorant because neither is better than the other. It's totally up to opinion which one you enjoy, but it is a fact that neither is "better" than the other (because no standard really exists).

The second one however is totally valid, because the shape and size of the universe is extremely debatable. Nothing in the observable universe points toward one or the other and so whatever theory you believe in is completely valid, and in this case the person saying it can sufficiently back up his opinion. Not in the sense that he is proving the theory, but he is establishing his opinion as valid.
