Sometimes the truth of a person's beliefs don't matter as much as understanding the person's actions in terms of their beliefs.
It's possible to show interest in a person's beliefs without trying to change them. And what possible way would we have of changing anyone's beliefs?
At this point, I'm just trying to understand so as to consider what possibilities (if any) there may be to ending the discord that currently exists on the board. I just want Babble to be a more pleasant place to be.
