I agree, insulting the person by calling them 'stupid' or 'crazy' is counterproductive and hurtful. But beliefs and ideas in themselves are definitely open to criticism. The problem is that some people hold their beliefs as sacred and as a deeply meaningful part of themselves, and will be offended anyway if these beliefs are targeted or questioned.
