But, you are grounded in your faith, so your faith drives you. In your opening post, you commented that you wanted to hear from people here who are not motivated by religious beliefs. So, my comment was more in response to that part of the OP.
Yes, I wanted to hear people's views who are not religious, but that doesn't equate to me thinking they can't have morals.
"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."
