I look back at this and realize that I have conviction in the belief that we should be in constant flux of our beliefs. xD

The thing is, ‘good …
The thing is, ‘good is a relative term. What you consider good, someone else considers ‘bad’, and vice versa. There will always be people who disagree with what you believe in, because that’s the way of the world. I agree that we should be open minded…but just because you don’t agree with someones idea doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to say it. The only way you can be free to speak of peace is if others are free to speak of hatred. If you want to regulate one, you have to regulate the other.

you asked “how is that for speaking with conviction?”

well it sucked because when you speak with conviction you don’t ask others on how well you did.
