You know why they are called your beliefs....BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUR BELIEFS! Quit trying to take what other people believe and try and make it support what you say and not actually be what the other person believes.
In certain cases where things are common beliefs, it is okay. However, the crazy guy who is now using some Mayan belief strtucture about the end of the world (which by the way he probably didn't even know about until the yahoo read a Yahoo News article) to support his own hair brained idea that the world is going to end, you have gone too far. Or the guy who suddenly believes every Nostradamus prediction would certainly be the truth now and that the town of York will be the start of the end, leave me alone.
FInally, this is my favorite. The guy who all of a sudden flips an argument using your own arguments to say that they agree with you, that guy is awful. If that was your argument in the first place, please make that your argument. Don;t switch up halfway through on the fear that you will be wrong. If this is what you believe, that is your right to hold that as your belief. Don't switch to pacify the rest of the world.
That is my issue. If you have valid arguments on an open ended question...keep them. Don't switch sides because other people tell you you are wrong, but don't use other people's arguments to prove yourself right and invalidate their points.
