Being caring and understanding isn't the same as trying to rescue people that don't want to be rescued or affirming peoples denial of reality. The best way to help someone is to guide them to reality, not to affirm their delusions or encourage them in their destructive behavior.
Most colleges today are so busy making people feel good about themselves that they teach students to deny reality and affirm their destructive behavior making college graduates dumber than when they started college.
I am all with you. I would not affirm people in denying reality.
Therefore I would not question anyones sexual orientation. Since this is their freedom as mine is my freedom.
Therefore I accept every religion, but treat their books for what they are. Fictional stories, to give good examples. To percive reality, I beliefe in the power of criticism. I question models myself until I understand them to a level I feel comfortable defending them.
Paper takes every word without questioning. So I have to filter reality from fantasy. Filter truthseeking sources from propaganda. Filter high quality sources from lower quality. And know what to use them for.
I am very happy to have learned to questing everything and come to my own conclusions. Knowledge is the source of real power. And the very knowledgable people will always have authority, while authority does not mean a person is knowledgable.
