Since I Believe, Does That Mean?

Since I believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, does that mean I push my religion on you?
Since I believe that family is one of the most important thing to have in life, does that mean I'm a mama's boy? 
Since I believe in treating women with respect, does that mean I am a pussy?
Since I believe in putting others before me, does that mean I can't stand up for myself?
Since I believe in being optimistic, does that mean I live in my own bubble?
Since I believe that everyone can fall in love and should marry whoever they want, does that mean I'm a faggot?
Since I believe that our government is going in the wrong direction, does that mean I support the enemy?
Since I stand up for my beliefs, does that mean I'm an outcast? 
Since I believe...

    In our world today, we are told to stand up for what we believe in, yet no one will respect our believes. We either push to convince someone that their beliefs are wrong, or we stop associating ourselves with them. Tonight I just gave you a few of my own beliefs not to cause conflict, but instead give you as the reader a better understanding of who I am. Some of you will lose all respect for me and I'm okay with that because my beliefs and values are worth more to me than some silly reputation. So I ask you the reader, do you have the courage to stand up for your beliefs, or will you believe in what society thinks you should believe in?
