In this world,
There are two types of guns,
Ones that kill people, and ones that kill peoples hearts.
I try not to use either.

Also in this world, there are two types of sadness.
One that devours you, and one you can overcome.
I try not to let either into my life.

Then there are two types of wars.
One that is nessacary, and one that is unnessacary.
I try not to start any.

And finally there are two types of love.
Requited, and unrequited love.
I try to not choose either of those as well, because there is actually a third type of love.
It's a love that knows no hate, desires no change, and continues no matter what happens.
It's called merciful love. It's the "not getting what you deserve" love. and I'm giving it to YOU.

Well thank you very much, and I had one thing that i thought of that may help 'explain' how i can talk about things I don't necessarily believe/agree with... it's a quote from V For Vendetta. Have you seen/read it? It's the Part when Evey is talking to Gordon in his one room that is filled with all his 'illegal' artifacts. And he has a Qur'an and it's probably like one of the only known copies left in the world, or at least in that country. and she asks him "Are you a Muslim?" to which he responds "No, I'm in television." and the conversation continues as followed: "But why would you keep it?" "I don't have to be Muslim to find the images beautiful, or the poetry moving." "Is it worth it? If they found that here..." "I told you, you'd be the least of my worries."

So the line that applies to our conversation is The one that says "I don't have to be Muslim to find the images beautiful, or the poetry moving." so Muslim part aside, I think it expands on how I can still talk about and understand where others come from with religion, or beliefs, without actually agreeing with them/their belief. etc.... so yeah. that's that. Good movie btw, you should watch it sometime.
