((AAAAA)))))) and (((nowheretorun))))
I agree with what nowehretorun said (((people come from all walks of life and with a history of thier own experiences and beliefs and a wide variety of belief systems are made available for us to consider and choose from.. some even mix them together, taking what makes sense from one and combining it with others to form a broader and more balanced belief system of thier own..)))))))))))))))and this
((accept that others are also finding their own way and may not yet have arrived at your own level of understanding about encouragement versus discouragement and allow them to reach understanding in thier own time as best you are able....))))))))))\
And (((AAAAA))))))))) what you said
((My own opinion is that each person has a path to walk. I'm very comfortable with my spiritual life. I don't believe it is the only way to salvation, just my way. I don't even feel the need to defend it or have others conform to my way of doing things. If you find comfort, guidance and enlightenment on your path, then you're doing it right.))))))
I put them in hugs as you two imo are so right.

Each of our paths are our paths. One not right or wrong.
None should be pushed on one another .......
both of you are amazing and kind ppl
Also ((AAAAA))))) your right you do not need to change who you are and what you believe ........
