"Their belief system is an integral part of their lives...therefore, going against it is simply wrong to them."
I agree that people should be free to believe whatever they want to believe, barring that it causes direct harm to someone else. Sometimes I do wonder if people believe things without truly thinking about them or whether they are just blindly following the words of a demagouge (sp?), but so long as they are content, far be it from me to tell them they are wrong. Belief is at its very core untestable and unfalsifiable. One can argue till one is blue in the face, it doesn't really matter.
"I respect Honeypot's stance on that issue."
As do I, thus the IMHOs and Dittos. The only problem I would have would be someone telling me that as a Christian I should believe X and Y. I'm not saying anyone did that, just throwing it out there.
"Our jobs here isn't to persuade someone to change their beliefs (for her that would be selling out and it would be sinful and that's more mental torture than it's worth), it's out job to support and help them work within their parameters."
I hope it didn't come across that I was trying to do that. I think my statements make it clear that I respect the individual belief (i.e. personal reflection is paramount).
"I cannot always look at it strictly from my own perspective....that won't work."
True, although I think everyone here by their very human nature will tend to project their own perspectives on every issue.
