A person's personal belief does not involve me unless they try to enact it into law or use it to cause harm to me or my family.
I'm the one being dense... Seriously?!
You just admitted that it does involve you. You can't have it both ways. As long as that person's personal belief is wrong you have to do everything within your power to correct it. It's your unspoken duty as a citizen of the world. It certainly does involve you, especially when so many people hold incorrect beliefs. Wherever it gets as clear-cut as you're trying to make it seem you act accordingly. Otherwise, you rely upon your power of persuasion to change people's minds about it, within the confines of the law and what is ethically acceptable.
