It is wise to remember sometimes that while you believe you are attacking a

Kayleigh,

Isn't that in large part because the belief system has *become* the identity.

Does this mean that people should walk on eggshells, and not challenge the

beliefs because it is taken personally? I do believe in trying to use some

degree of tact, which is probably why I used the word challenge instead of

attack. Nonetheless, I think if you really disagree with a belief system and

think it can cause harm, it is, IMO, appropriate to challenge those that help

perpetuate that system to re-evaluate their beliefs. You may get nowhere, but

then again......who knows?
