The second asserts that not only can we not be sure what is right but that one idea can not be right or wrong any more then any other idea. That was not my intended meaning. I just meant that, since we can't know with certainty, we have no right to force our beliefs on others who may have different beliefs and who don't know with certainty any more than we do. I agree that, if your idea is right, then it applies, pertains, to others as well as to you whether they believe it or not. If, for example, there is a deity who judges you, then He judges me, too. My point is only that, if you can't persuade them that your belief is the right one, then you must let the differences stand, not "apply" yours to them, as in "put into effect" or "impose." Sorry I wasn't clearer. I originally typed the word, impose, but changed it.
