Don't believe then? It's quite simple really. No one is forcing you to do anything here.
Does this excuse work for used car salesmen who defraud their clients?
Your honor, I didn't FORCE him to buy the car. He chose freely! Therefore, no crime was committed!

Feelings aren't beliefs. Different things. I'm saying that people are invalidating my feelings, which is to be expected since my feelings are considered unacceptable by the New Age community, which in itself is good evidence that the New Age community is essentially a hive of emotionally abusive people.
