Mature people separate their beliefs from their identity.
Children attach their beliefs to their identity, and feel like when you correct a math problem they wrote, you insulting them. Adults should realize that their beliefs are incidental to who they are.

I hate the character of a god who would drown all humans but one family, that would kill hundreds of thousands of Egyptians, including babies, for not letting a people “go” then give that people laws of how to hold slaves. I hate a god that would tell his followers to commit genocide and not spare the infants. I hate a religion that convinces people that such a book is helpful in learning how to be moral. That suggests that justice for not being convinced a person survived his own death is to be eternally tortured or snuffed out for eternity. I hate that you are a good person, better than your religion, that you think you need this or that it true. I wager your most cherished beliefs are not those distinguished by your religion. I bet your most cherished beliefs are things I believe too, that what is good and moral is what reduces suffering and makes people canada goose clearance
comfortable and happy, that most people are good, but face challenges and temptation, that love and service to your fellow humans, family friends is the best way to live, charity, kindness, bravery, are good values.

Especially when those beliefs are informing public policy. If you can’t justify your beliefs with evidence then canada goose outlet in new york you shouldn’t expect to be taken seriously. canada goose uk black friday

If some child rapist had a “cherished belief” that children deserve to be raped, ask your friend if they would respect that belief. If they say no, then ask why not? They’ll probably respond by saying that belief is harmful. Then you respond by saying that religious belief is harmful as well.
