Why is it that the traditions of remote tribes in the Amazon river basin are supposed to be respected, but not the customs of our neighbor?

IMHO,

from the Book of John

The World's Hatred

15:18 "If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first. 15:19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you. 15:20 Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too. 15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But they no longer have any excuse for their sin. 15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father too. 15:24 If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father. 15:25 Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without reason.' 15:26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father-the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father-he will testify about me, 15:27 and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

Robert Redford only enjoys cultural relativism at arms length. All beliefs are equally valid, except in my backyard where I dont agree with them. <g>
