>A belief system doesn't have to be one that is 'spiritual' in nature - at least on the surface.

I know, thats why I prefaced "belief" with "spiritual" this time.

>But, it is a belief system. It's what you believe in.

But what if I don't believe in it? What if I'm just riding it until something better comes along. I'm not going to make a belief out of something I don't know if I'm sure about.

>Now, probably an area where we might disagree is whether or not man has a spiritual 'side'. I believe he does and you may not.

I'm a very spiritual person, just not the way you are with religion. Spiritual <> Religion. Deal with that.

>Well, for me, demonstrating respect or taking what I consider proper and necessary steps to try and avoid disrespect is a logical conclusion I've made as a result of where I am at business wise. It makes a lot of sense to try and treat veryone I deal with on a professional level with respect and I'd hate to lose a multi-million dollar sale over a mis-spent word.

But what makes them offensive, what makes them un-proffesional? Nothing, its just a belief that some people have, wether it makes sense or not and they're not going to change.

>Nothing at all in the sens that that os where you're at. Regardless that is the definition of your current belief system - which has been my point all along.

Its my idea, not my belief system. I might be acting like a dick here, but there is a very big difference between the thoughts.
