I agree completely. For most of us there comes a time that we need something just to believe in. Totally irrelevant is whether it is true or not. Further a "dedication to fostering Truth" can stink to high heaven at times. If it isn't hurting anyone, and if it is not an "outsider" preying on one of our own, then be kind. But also remember that if one's own similar belief is received politely but without enthusiasm, that we all have the right to demur, as well.

Many of the posts on this forum are about what I call "therebo", actions which may be theraputic or, alternatively, may have a placebo effect.
Unless there is good reason not to, we should be supportive of another person's therebo.
