Your beliefs are sacred and I hope that you are eventually able to live by them without fear of recrimination or abuse.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world feels the same about their beliefs and don't appreciate others telling them that they are wrong.
Conviction should not extend beyond your boundaries, but tolerance should have no boundaries.
