Middle ground is a good place to be. You're right, some people equate extremism for sincerity. They criticize balanc3ed people as "fence sitters."

One of the 42 precepts of Ma'at says "I have not been the cause of the shedding of tears." I try to live by that unless I sense a person is using their tears to control and manipulate me.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
