Now this is interesting:
But it is inevitable that when certain beliefs and ideas are challenged, some people will take this as a personal affront.

I think the key is to recognize who these people are and to back away when they feel threatened. Give them a bit of breathing room. Of course, some of the best discussions occur when views are challenged and pushed to the edge of the bubble. You'll just have to know the limits of your cohorts thru continual debate.

Is it possible that one could disagree strongly with a statement and not be personally offended?

And is it is somehow wrong, intellectually immature, or embarrassing to have "cherished beliefs" as you call them?
