We can't accept everyones belief as "equal" because that's not how truth works (there are people out there who believe that homosexuals, blacks and women are lesser beings... do we have to accept thier beliefs as equal and true too now?)
How about we stop having beliefs, and start KNOWING, start investigating, start looking for evidence. Backing up our beliefs (which is just another word for "personal theory") with evidence.
No one is going to take anyone seriously without evidence.
Unless you'd like the courts of law to start thinking that way too?
"no your honour, we don't have any evidence, but we definitely believe this guy killed the deceased"
Once again, don't blame the messenger.
It's not my fault that all of modern science contradicts the entire idea of out of body experiences.
Truth:"a fact that has been verified"
I didn't make up the definition of truth,
I also didn't make up Physics.
IF you want to be at odds with the world because your belief makes you "feel good", don't get grumpy with people who respect hard earned facts over belief.
One last thing...
If you're personal view of the world is being threatened by what I say... then please prove it to me. Give us some evidence. If it's real, if it's genuine, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about when people start testing it. Defensivness and falling back on calling people "princess" or other derogitory remarks, don't help your argument, they show as fear that you may not be right.
