I wouldn't say I necessarily have any sort of "motivation" for my beliefs. I never quite thought of it that way. The way I see it, a person doesn't have all that much control over what they do or do not believe. They either just believe something or not I guess.
"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."
