    Respect, is used as a form of control to shield questionable religious leaders from being called-out, while at the same time justifying shitty, chronic, toxic behavior.

    It has been only in these kinds of religious circles that I have seen quotes such as “respect is earned, not given” taken wildly out of context and “no one is perfect”.

    When you are not perfect, or disrespectful HABITUALLY, aka an habitual line-stepper you’re gonna get your ass whupped one day figuratively, literally, or legally.
