No, it wasn't my point that the "average believer in Jesus" necessarily believes or supports the beliefs I listed. My point was in response to Falcao's post which asserted that we should respect people's beliefs - I was simply reponding that there are many things that people believe that are either wrong, dangerous, or both and that beliefs, religious or otherwise, are not worthy of respect simply in virtue of the fact that someone believes them.
