See, you can consider sacred whatever you want. The problem I (we) have with your view is that it seems so disconnected from any actual concerns about actual human beings and their well being and instead focuses on something so seemingly arbitrary that it almost appears insane. Imagine there's a cure for a disease and people are opposed to it because the pills have the wrong color. This is how your views (on this particular issue) appear to outsiders.
Do you think I lack concern for human beings?
(not sure if that's what you're saying, so sorry if not)
As for your second part, I don't know what to say. If you view my belief regarding this the same way you would view someone saying it's wrong to take a pill to save a life because it's the wrong color, then that's how you see it and that's fine. I think it's unfortunate that you see it that way, and that you possibly think little of me because of it, but you are entitled to your own thoughts of course.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
