Knowing I don't necessarily subscribe to your beliefs, how would you define "kind" and how would you display your kindness toward me?
I know your disabilities, Hon. You made mention of my somehow me being in a position of authority over you so I went with what came to mind first since you didn't specify.

Knowing that you and I don't always agree, I wouldn't make mention of my faith. I would show you kindness just like I mentioned above. If you're thinking I might confront you with something as a for of being kind, I would do it only for your own physical well-being and I would use the most tender tone of voice that would be appropriate.

If you need more specific answers, then ask me more specific questions as long as I don't have to mention my faith. It will only be "moderated."
