So my common response to strong ideological positions is to take a hypothetical which exposes something I feel uncomfortable with if I were to accept that ideological framework.
The world is pretty much all shades of grey to me (indeed to an extent which occasionally offends), so I find ideological certainty very hard to relate to. It's not that I think they're wrong and I'm right, I'm not attacking their position, I just want to get my head around the fact that when faced with all the ramifications of their position - they're still certain.
These conversations are really interesting to me, and I love talking to people who see the world so differently.
