So show they have no choice. I see righteous persons disrespected all the time. If you force Christians to kneel and then put a bullet in the back of their head- that is not respect. If you think they do, then please show how.
Some things are self-evident. I can't tell you why one and one equals two, but I know it does.

There are certain axioms: One plus one equals two. Gravity exists. People respect the righteous man, even if they don't like him.
"Goody Two Shoes", that was never an accusation from respect.

Much love!

So your self evident is infallible compared to what the super majority of people believe about who gets respect or not? WOW
I'm saying that I can't prove one and one are two, but I know they are, and I know people will respect me if I refrain from sinning.

Why do you think someone respects you if they are acting otherwise?

Much love!
I know that when the sun shines, it gets warmer. I know that if I obey the Lord's commandments, people will respect me. I can't prove either.

1. Walk with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
2. You are safe (trust the Lord).
3. Enjoy your glory (assuming you've repented of your sin).
4. Take it easy (the Lord isn't a slave-driver).
Glory belongs to God alone......and as for "take it easy"- myself I'd rather not because my only joy is serving Him
